C# - Server.MapPath() Returning A Path That Does Not Exist When Used With DirectoryInfo?
Jul 20, 2010
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.?

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 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 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.

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?

I would like to check whether a folder exists or not if not create. I'm sure this folder exists, but for some reason I get "false" when I check with "Exists" method.
The only reason I think could be because of the W: drive? I moved this application to production site and even there it returns false.
while I'm type in Windows explorer on my localhost and on the server "W:/Webs/ASPPages/cropper/uploads" it opens this folder. So my localhost and IIS server has W: mapping.
for test I tried to create the folder then it says can't find the path...
userFolderName = @"W:/Webs/ASPPages/cropper/uploads"
//I also tried @"W:WebsASPPagescropperuploads"
//I also tried @"W:WebsASPPagescropperuploads"
//I also tried "W:\Webs\ASPPages\cropper\uploads"
DirectoryInfo dirInfo = new DirectoryInfo(userFolderName);........

I'm having a bit of trouble loading an XML file with ASP. This is the location of the XML file (it's a UNC url):
\ilife104 eamdiskSharedIntegrationSystemdevDataprcImportFactSetFeedsfileList.xml
And this is my code:
<%
'load the XML file..
Option Explicit
Response.Buffer = True
Dim xml
Set xml = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xml.async = False
xml.load (Server.MapPath("\ilife104 eamdiskSharedIntegrationSystemdevDataprcImportFactSetFeedsfileList.xml"))
Dim name, retrieved
name = xml.documentElement.childNodes(0).text
retrieved = xml.documentElement.childNodes(2).text
Set xml = Nothing
%>
It gives the error:
Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0174 : 80004005'
Invalid Path Character(s)
/ITWeb/Interfaces/je/index.asp, line 9
An invalid '/' or '' was found in the Path parameter for the MapPath method.

I have some code that works fine when I need to delete some image files from a directory on my web server:
Dim ImageURL As String = dsImages.Tables(0).Rows(iImgRow).Item("ImageURL")
Dim physicalName = Server.MapPath(ImageURL)
oUpload.DeleteFileFromServer(physicalName, iAdid, iImgID)
.but I am running into a problem when a maintenance task running in a separate thread at set intervals determines that files like the above need to be deleted:
Dim ImageURL As String = dsImage.Tables(0).Rows(i - 1).Item("ImageURL")
Dim iImgID As Integer = dsImage.Tables(0).Rows(i - 1).Item("ImageId")
Dim physicalName As String = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(ImageURL)
oUpload.DeleteFileFromServer(physicalName, iAdID, iImgID)
In this latter case, HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(ImageURL) has a value of Nothing.Is there a way to get the full path for this case?

When my ASP.NET site uses documents (e.g. XML), I normally load the document as follows:
Server.MapPath("~DocumentsMyDocument.xml")
However, I would like to move the Documents folder out of the website folder so that it is now a sibling of the website folder. This will make maintaining the documents considerably easier.
However, rewriting the document load code as follows:
Server.MapPath("../../Documents/MyDocument.xml")
results in a complaint from ASP.NET that it cannot 'exit above the top directory'.
how I can relatively specify the location of a folder outside the website folder? I really don't want to specify absolute paths for the obvious deployment reasons.

in my Global.asax I have a timer and every 24 hours it creates an instance of a class and calls a method to send reminder emails with an attachment. In this method I am getting the current HttpContext and using Server.MapPath to get the path to the attachment, but it is always null. I guess this is because Application_End has been called between the last user accessing the site and the method being called.
As a workaround I am setting the timer interval to 19 minutes but I would rather not call the method 36 times a day when only once is required.
Is there any way, apart from hard coding the path, to ensure the HttpContext is not null?

This is what I have right now for a file residing on the same server and it works.
Dim FILENAME as String = Server.MapPath("Output.txt")
Dim objStreamWriter as StreamWriter
objStreamWriter = File.CreateText(FILENAME)
dr = myCommand.ExecuteReader()
While dr.Read()
objStreamWriter.WriteLine("{0}|{1}|{2:yyyy-MM-dd}|{3:yyyy-MM-dd}", dr(0), dr(1), dr(2), dr(3))
End While
objStreamWriter.Close()
I was planning on FTPing the file to another server once done but is there a way to do it on a remote server? i.e create a text file on a remote server and write to it? Did not find any instances of that usage. How to use ServerXMLHTTP to replace Server.MapPath in this instance?

I have had a real nightmare with Server.MapPath(). When I call Server.MapPath("~") in my application that is running in ASP.NET Development Server it returns root directory that ends in a back slash like f:projectsapp1, but I call it in published version, installed in IIS, it returns root directory without any back slash like c:inetpubwwwrootapp1.
string mainRoot = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~");
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(mainRoot);
//added to solve this problem with Server.MapPath
if (!mainRoot.EndsWith(@""))
mainRoot += @"";
FileInfo[] files = di.GetFiles("*.aspx");
foreach (FileInfo item in files)
{
string path = item.FullName.Replace(mainRoot, "~/").Replace(@"", "/");
//do more here
}

the maximum number of files in a folder, I noticed that DirectoryInfo.GetFiles().Length is returning a System.In32, but the Maximum value of a Int32 is 2.147.483.647 (Int32.MaxValue) while on NTFS (an many other filesystems) the maximum number of files can go far beyond that.
on NTFS it is 4.294.967.295 single files in one folder (probably an Uint32)
Which leads me to the interesting question:
Is it possible to get the number of files in a folder on NTFS with the .NET framework, when the number of files exceeds the Int32.MaxValue, in an elegant and performing manner?
