I have a web application that uses Server.MapPath to specify the exact physical path of as part of upload image.
For example if I do Server.MapPath("/")
I get this:
\boswinfs04homeusersweb2676username
I was expecting something like this:
d:folder
I need to use Server.MapPath not only for image upload but several other uses.
The layout of my web app is C:inetpubwwwroot<sln folder><web app folder>. So the image folder in my web app would be the previous path images.
When I try to save to my images folder from a FileUpload control and use Server.MapPath, it drops my <sln folder>, so the path is incorrect. How do I fix this? I figured Server.MapPath just moved up the folder until it hit a drive, no?
I have a virtual directory setup in IIS6. This maps to a shared network drive.
I can correctly map the path using
string mappedPath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(path);
I then create a DirectoryInfo object as I want to find some files in the directory.
DirectoryInfo updateDirectory = new DirectoryInfo(mappedPath);
But then updateDirectory.Exists is false?? I can take the string from the mappedPath and copy into Start->Run to get to the path so I know it exists. I am authenticating to the webservice using integrated windows authentication and have permissions to the necessary folders.
Is there something obvious I'm missing in the code? Or is this purely set-up and configuration of IIS etc.?
I have image files stored in "VS_ProjectResourcesImages".
When I use the following code:
String str = Server.MapPath("a.png");
str becomes "VS_Projecta.png".
Why isn't it returning the full path?
I'm creating a custom server control which needs to take in a root-relative path for one of it's properties. I use the UrlProperty, but when I select a file in the markup, the selected path doesn't inlcude the the "~/". I'd like to mimic the behavior of a hyperlink. So let's say I have this:
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" NavigateUrl
When I type in an equals sign after the NavigateUrl property, intellisense pops open a URL picker and I can pick from any page to produce this code:
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" NavigateUrl="~/default.aspx"
this code has the "~/" in front. When I use my control, I have this:
<cc1:TestControl ID="TestControl1" Url="default.aspx"
the C# code has this property:
[UrlProperty]
public string Url { get; set; }
Does anyone know how I can make the "~/" be placed in front to make a root-relative path?
What is the difference between those two? If I only want to retrieve the absoluate path to an image on web server, is Server.MapPath safer in any case? I'm using Page.MapPath right now, but it won't work if control was created in WebService since control.Page property become null? Whether Server.MapPath always work?
View 1 RepliesI am Final Year IT Engineering student. I am Doing Content Management System in ASP.net for my college. I have given link on my master page for various pages in the application; where I have specified only relative path of those pages. When I run this project and follow any link it works well for only first time and for second time when I click any link it .net run time environment unable to find the absolute address of that page.
View 2 RepliesI have this master page, that uses a few .js files and a flash animation.
the <script> and <object> tags that are used to embed these in the page take in relative paths as src. However, since the pages .aspx, i'll need to convert these into tilde paths, ie. somehow change the relative paths to tilde path (is this the absolute path?), so that i can use the master page in any of my pages in subfolders as well. if this question has been posted b4, kindly give me a link... i've not been able to find a solution.
When I write following code in my view
<% Url.Action("Logon") %>
the mvc framework generates
/Account/Logon ({controller}/{action})
as path.
'/Account/Logon' path is an absolute path. Is there a way to change is to a relative path, like Account/Logon or ../Account/Logon.
Also, when I use the Html.Beginform(), the mvc framework generates <form action="/account/logon"..., I want to change this to <form action="account/logon"...So, problem is that I want relative paths instead of absolute path.
what it does at the moment is return an absolute path for example h:myfile . however, this is causing me problems because when browsing to the page, it is not returning the file i need because it is looking for a h: drive which the client machine does not have. so i was thinking i need to return a relative path so the not looking straight to the h: drive and rather it is just looking for the filename. i have also created this as a virtual directory on iis which is where is looks for the file location.
View 8 RepliesI currently have an Instance of the ASP.net ajax control toolkit combo box residing in a field set with a style of position:releative applied. The control also sits in a very plain table.
There are two problems with the display of the list:
The list does not sit flush with the text box. In I.E. 7 (which is the majority of my target audience, intranet where IE7 is the company standard) the list display about 10px below the fieldset, which is what the bottom margin of the fieldset is set to. In FF 2.0 the list sits sinificantly lower and off-set to the right.
Below the filed set there is more content in a div, also with a style of position:relative applied. The list from the combo box displays behind the content of this div, which is obviously an issue.
Removing position: releative from the fieldset resolves the display issue of the combo box, but results in other unwanted display side effects.
i am fetching image using webservice into dataset and displaying for that its to be get worked after deployment i have done following line of code but its still not able to display the image after deployment

String physicalPath = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.ToString();
String imagePath = physicalPath.Substring(0, physicalPath.LastIndexOf("/",
StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) + 1) + imageName;
I have got a master page(Project>>MasterPages>>MainPage.master) and some images in that page with some path like "../../Images/bg_main_menu.png".
I refer this master page in two forms. One of those form is oresent in the path :
Project>>Forms>>Form1.aspx and the other one is : Project>>Forms>>NewFolder>>Form2.aspx
Now for Form2.aspx the image is not getting loaded.
I tried the image path with "~Images/bg_main_menu.png". But it is not working.
How do you calculate a relative path in ASP.NET MVC?
View 2 RepliesI've got this app where I'm using an IHttpHandler to serve JSON data to my JavaScript method.
[code]....
This works fine on my "localhost" webserver, but I've also got a staging server for my clients to use. http://staging.infinitas.ws/ClientSite/
The problem that I'm having is that when the app is hosted on the staging server, the theSource is mapped incorrectly (contains /ClientSite/). I could do something like a String.Replace but I'm looking for a more elegant way of achieving this.
I am trying to get a FileStream from a relative path. The file is in my project, but when I try to do that it automatically appends C:\ in front of that.
1. Does the FileStream only works if the file is on a local Hard Dive?
2. Also if it works from the local hard drive, then does my application needs some permission to read the file from C Drive?

View 4 RepliesAssuming I have a .css file with the following linebody { background-image: url('../images/bg.png') }My build process does some CSS magic and eventuall move this file from
~/Content/styles/styles.css
To
~/temp/styles.css
This invalidates the url statement in the file and needs re-written to ../Content/images/bg.pngThis is my question - given the original file location, the new file location and the background-image url in the file is there a reusable way calculate a new relative path for the image?In case someone doesn't know css urls should be relative to the css file it is contained within.
my asp.net program have to open pdf files, these files are contained in a directory named "pdf",
The problem is: The webpage doesn't find the relative directory "/pdf" ; to solve the problem I have to write the exaclty path "C:inetpubwwrootsitepdf" butI want to use only the relative path to avoid other problems.
I have an XML file named PageData.xml in my App_Data folder. I want to populate an XDocument with this file using XDocument.Load.
If I supply the full physical path it works, i.e.:
XDocument vXDoc = XDocument.Load("/Work/Project/Web/100413 Dev/App_Data/PageData.xml");
...where "Work" is a folder on my C: drive.
If I try a relative path like this, though, I get a DirectoryNotFoundException:
XDocument vXDoc = XDocument.Load("AppData/PageData.xml");
"Could not find a part of the path 'C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesMicrosoft SharedDevServer10.0AppDataPageData.xml'."
This is obviously wrong, but there must be an easy way to set the correct relative path?
OK, I've seen a lot of ambiguous errors, but this was is in the top 20 or so. I have a RenderPartial that looks like this:
[Code]....
When the view loads, I get this error:
The relative virtual path '~Areas/User/Views/Shared/ProjectStats.ascx' is not allowed here. That really helps. Why isn't it allowed there? What's wrong with it? Just above it I have other PartialRender calls that work without a problem. They're created exactly the same way. Here's another:
[Code]....
This works fine. I thought maybe it was due to accessing a view from another Area, but I added a partial view to that Area's folder and it still didn't work.
i would know if is possible and how i can retrieve the current relative path of the view that is executed. The code is in a model file (C#)
View 2 RepliesSuppose I have a resource located in ~/Resources/R1.png This resource's relative URL will vary depending on the current address.
For instance: If I'm at www.foo.com/A/B/C/D.aspx and the www.foo.com/A is the root path including Virtual Directory, then the path relative to the current address of ~/Resources/R1.png is ../../../Resources/R1.png
How can I get this relative path?
EDIT:
I want a web path that I can use in a web page, not a server path.
I have to access a relative path of the XSD file to validate a XML file. The XML file and the XSD file are part of the class library. How do I access the relative path in the class library?
In case of website, I would use server.mappath(path). Is there anything similar to get the virtual path to the corresponding physical directory on the server in the class library?
