I have some processes that run without an HttpContext in an ASP.NET MVC web application. This process needs to be able to determine the physical path to the Contents directory of the application for reading/writing data. But, since it is without an HttpContext, I don't get to use fancy things like Server.MapPath and such.
View 2 Repliesi am trying to insert with bulk and getting the following

the path is correct, dont know why not working.
I have my owned siteMapProvider, I need phisical file path to initialize it but I can't use HttpContext to do that, because IIS 7 will thrown exception:

How can I do MapPath without HttpContext?
I have been supplied this example for a force download[URL]However, what I would like to know what to do is to hide from the users the physical file path from the users as they do not have direct access to this server. Is there away for me to keep this file path private on a download?
View 3 RepliesI am having a fileuploade control on my aspx page. On button click I want the physical fullpath of my file, which i am going to upload on server. If the file is in desktop then it should show C:Users Admin1DesktopSampleHonourImages.png
I have used Path.GetFullPath(Fileupload1.FileName) but it is giving C:Program Files (x86)IIS ExpressHonourImages.png instead of actual path

mov is a quicktime file, my server has the mimetype: video/quicktime .......... but as I read, this code forces the save as download box which is exactly what i want :) now, here's the catch, i the file I am fetching is NOT on the physical path... it is on a completely different server:Protected Sub LinkButton1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LinkButton1.Click
Response.Clear()
Response.ContentType = "x-msdownload"
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", ("attachment; filename=mydownload.mov"))
Response.TransmitFile("http://myOTHERserver.com/files/mydownload.mov")
Response.End()
End Sub
Obviously this doesn't work since TransmitFile requires that the file be on your physical path, so how do i do this? Someone said you must use the stream method. Do you have any sample code I could try? I've tried the HTTPStreamReader object but it's giving me issues, so I would love to find out if there is anyway this might work. Now here's some more important information: this are HUGE video files.. we are creating a downloads page... written in asp.net -- so you create an account using the .net membership class, then you select the file you want, go through a form where you enter your billing info and then after you pay a certain fee (this is already implemented), you go to your "downlaods" area in your account... there you have access to the files......... the reason i'm doing this is because i want to hide the download link, which will be something likehttp://myOTHERserver.com/2340987sdfkjhalsdlkjh23 ... (something really crazy)....... we don't want people seeing this on the status bar (Therefore hiding the download link is ESSENTIAL)........ the files are a good 500MB each approximately; so i would love to hear all of your suggestions as to making the streamreader work for me and how long would it take for the streamreader to READ the file........

I have a custom ASP.NET application that I utilize for several clients that I host. Each client has a separate domain and the application is normally a child application under the root domain [URL]. The application files are the same (aspx, ascx, style sheets, images, etc.). The only thing different is the web.config file for each client. As development of the application continues to evolve, I have to update the application for each directory and this obviously becoming tedious. I am trying to come up with a method keep the application up to date. My first though is placing the application into a single physical path and creating multiple applications pointing to that path (the problem with this method is I can't have different web.config files). I am curious as to what solution others are using in this scenario...
View 2 RepliesI am trying to convert the virtual path to a physical path but don't seem to have Server.MapPath or HttpServerUtility.MapPath available in my handler. I add the System.Web namespace with no luck.
string virtualTargetFolder = String.Format("~/UserImages/{0}/Images/", user.ProviderUserKey.ToString());
string physicalTargetFolder = System.Web.HttpServerUtility.MapPath (virtualTargetFolder);
the syntax to convert a virtual path to a physical path.
I wanted to upload a file located in one server and i know only the website name.
I've found myself having a requirement to configure log4net based on a file relative to the physical location of the running ASP.NET web application. We like to start the logger as early as possible, so Application_Start seems a proper place. In IIS6, this works fine and has been running for ages, but now we moved to IIS7 and this won't work anymore:
string absolutePath = HttpContext.Current.Request.PhysicalApplicationPath;
because the HttpContext.Current is not available in many global.asax (Application, Session) events. This is old news, we all know it raises the now infamous Request is not available in this context error. We don't want to move back to Classic Mode.
Now, the question is simple: without using HttpContext, is it possible to find the physical location of the currently running web application instance?
I've set up IIS7 on my home computer and have written a very basic ASP.NET website to be deployed on this webserver. Everything works great. How do I determine programmatically the physical path (for instance, "C:inetpub_MyWebsite") of the website? I need to write an XML file to the website's root folder dynamically and therefore need to know the folder's physical location.

View 8 RepliesMy basic question is, can a virtual directory in IIS point to a physical path that's not on the local machine? For instance, right now I have a virtual path /NaturalGasReport/NYMEX which points to physical path C:Program Files (x86)NymexSettleNATGAS_REPORTNYMEX, but I want it to point to a physical path on a difference PC on the same network. Is this possible? (I know I can just try it out so I apologize for asking but I thought it would be best to get an explanation along with "yes" or "no"). If you want more detail, this is what I need to do. To make a long story short, because of a vendor product we are using that won't run on a 64-bit operating system, I have to run a program called Generate_NGReportData.vbs (it's a vbscript program) on a PC I will call 28. It uses a vendor product which produces jpg files which are graphs of the Natural Gas market. The machine where I wish it could run is called RTEST01 but this machine runs a 64-bit OS and the components won't work there. RTEST01 has the databases. So, I created a datasource on 28 which points to RTEST01's database. The vbs program will read the data, generate the reports, and write one row to a database table on RTEST01. RTEST01 has to run the complimentary program which sends these reports (via email). 28 is not an email server so it can't email the reports. So on RTEST01 I will run Send_NaturalGasReport.vbs. This program creates an email body of html. The html references [URL]NaturalGasReport/NYMEX/" & Day(nymex_update_dt) & ".jpg which is a virtual directory pointing to C:Program Files (x86)NymexSettleNATGAS_REPORTNYMEX. I need it to point to the folder and files on 28.So if my initial question has a simple yes answer then I am all set. If not, examine my architecture and propose an alternative solution.

I'm trying to get my company to move to ASP.NET MVC and away from classic ASP. I've written some sample applications as proof-of-concept but now I'm running into problems as I try to deploy these mvc applications to my company's IIS7 server. My System Administrator says that there is something in ASP.NET MVC that is preventing him from having a UNC path specified as the server's physical path to the site folder. This sounds ridiculous to me because (to my knowledge) the MVC Framework doesn't have any effect on this setting... nor does the code I write. The bottom line is this: if any of my mvc applications are to be used for clients, they have to run on a server using a UNC physical path. Currently, the mvc apps will work when the server has a non UNC path... just not with a UNC path.
Am I wrong to tell the System Admin that it isn't MVC that's mucking up his UNC paths? Is there I resource you guys know of that I can use to research this problem? Edits:

Via my .aspx pages users can upload photos to my server, and also delete them again.
The uploading works, so users can write new photos to the physical location.
But when trying to delete those photos I get:

I checked (via Windows Explorer) what the security properties for that folder are: IIS_IUSRS group has read and write access...
