i have different number of directories containing files and i need to have hyperlinks so that user can download files to their ends. problem is that these directories are outside the application directory. how to map these files paths and name so that when user right click and save it on his machine or just clicking it..... what i have to do beside setting permission to reading those directories..
View 7 RepliesMy ASP.NET application logs transactions (both inside AND outside of databases), and therefore needs read/write access to text files within various directories within the root of the website - in ADDITION to the normal database access.
In this scenario, how can I safely allow my ASP.NET application to write data to the web folders? I have a thread-safe DLL that performs the actual work, so I don't believe I need to worry about multiple sessions writing to the log files at the exact same time - assuming my DLL will only be running in a single instance/process that will be shared between numerous ASP.NET instances/processes/threads.
But I'm more concerned about file access permissions. I've heard that ASP.NET applications generally aren't allowed access to the webserver's local file system, and that this may even restrict my DLL from getting the correct file access. Can I grant my application file-access to the web-driectories?

Now,we need to address the following things in that to complete req, 1) If I enter filename_mmddyyyy.txt it should fetch only files having current date in their name in mmddyyyy format.For eg. If I give test_mmddyyyy.txt in txtextension it should return only files with test_10222010.txt and not thee ones with yyyymmdd and all...Right now I am getting all the files created in the current date including the one with ordinary test.txt and also test_20101022.txt .......And the third thing filename.mdd everything is getting passed correctly but it is not fetching the file ..Again test,test_20101022.txt everything comes.It shouldn't be like that it should only fetch files with .mdd (current date)....
In my above code i have two text boxes one for file path and other one for getting extension and also for gettting file names with diff search criteria.....What i do is i should implement file search which is like as mentioned below -
1) it should search for all files if i enter *.*,only jpg if *.jpg, and files like nks.txt if i enter ?
2) if i enter the filename alone without extn it should return me filenames that exist without extension in directories. 3) the final thing is the date in filename where my file will be like filename_mmddyyyy.txt or filename_yyyymmdd.txt or filename.mdd.In first case it should return only files with current date in mmddyyyy format and txt extn....like taht....last case is mdd in extn...
where if i enter filename.123,it sould get me files with jan 23(23 currnt date) and for months greater than 9 it is N for nov ,D for dec and so on.But in m,ytext box i will enter only file.mdd only .and also filename_mmddyyyy.jpg like that....
I need to setup a file handler to route with multiple sub directories something like tihs;
http://localhost/images/7/99/786936215595.jpg
I tried putting this in the global.asax file;
routes.Add(
"ImageRoute",
new Route("covers/{filepath}/{filename}",
new ImageRouteHandler()));
I am using the ImageHandler found in this Question, which works great if you have a single sub-directory (ie '/images/15/786936215595.jpg') but fails when you have multiple directories.
I tried setting up a wildcard and that didnt work (ie 'new Route("covers/{filepath}/*/{filename}"')
This is serving images from a large NAS (think something like 3 million images) so its not like I can just move files around.
I have this code and I'm getting an IOException and can't figure out what the problem is. I'm trying to loop through the subdirectories in a directory and list all of the .JPG files.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
Session["AllEmpsLoadPath"] = "\\intranet.org\Photo Album\Employees";

We have a web portal product from which we customize portals from customers. We use the precompiled web app and create a virtual directory (vd) where the customization resides. In addition to this we do some changes web.config in the web app folder. We would obviously like to keep these customizations under TFS source control.
When I try to add the precompiled web app (which I don't want to add to source control), a warning tells me that the vds cannot be added. If I only add the folder that is referenced to by the vd, I lose the references to assemblies in the precompiled web app.
My questions are:
How do I structure a solution for adding IIS (sub application level) virtual directories and still retain the references to assemblies? Is it possible to add other directories/files from the web application level (like App_Theme, web.config etc.) to the solution?
Since we already use Visual Source Safe, we have established a tree structure for each customization project:
Project Root
|
|-Custom Sql
|
|-Custom Portal Files (which is added as a virtual directory)
|
|-Other Customizations
I could probably do a lot of this manually through the source control explorer, but I'd like to have everything done through a solution.
I've followed the instructions using this article: [URL], but this doesn't address the exact problem that I have. Oh, and we are currently using Visual Source Safe for portal customizaton, but are eager to make the move to TFS.
In my asp.net wep application i would like to move the folders from the server to a network location so that the server doesnt get filled up.

ASP.NET wild card mapping
A virtual directory mapped to an UNC share serving static images for a CMS in a load balancing environment
My question if it's possible to turn off asp.net from virtual and only serve static files e.g. images in the virtual directory, to avoid the problem with too many open connections?
If it's not possible I'll guess I have to implement a solution like [URL] to server the files from a local disc.
I found a possible solution at [URL] that removes the wild card mapping and makes it possible to turn of execution of asp.net files.

I wanna serve my application in ISS to be accessed from many different URL's on my web server.
eg.
http://example.com/test1
http://example.com/test2
Both these URL's get served by the same application.
I do NOT however want to just create new virtual applications to the application, because it stuffs up the user membership roles. The users and their roles must exist accross the two URL's.
I have a bigger ASP.NET based webapplication, which is structured into subwebs (as described on [URL]How can I share user specific information (user credentials, other informations) between these subwebs? The point is that the subwebs have all their own virtual directories and therefore different sessions. Are there other possibilities besides cookies to have a shared (user/browser session based) memory?

I am Importing an excel file using oledb connection in asp.net.
but it is not working on server.
now i want to read excel file without interop.
How can i do it.
We have an ASP.NET 3.5 Web application in which we have faced the below issue:
The application is working fine but suddently at one point application URL prompts for the authentication. When we (the support team) checked the server, we were able to identify that the access was denied for some of the main files (like web.config, default page). When we enabled the access the application started working fine.
