cannot write a file to disk!

You're letting a lot of bad links creep onto that page. Do a Google
search for "genesis world energy". The second item found is a broken
link to the newsroom. (The third item found explains how the page you
are working on is a stock fraud scam.)

Bump.

I'm using an XmlTextWriter to write an xml file to disk.
No matter what I do with the permissions and aspnet user,
it will not allow me to write a file!

My error:

Exception Details: System.Unauthor izedAccessExcep tion:
Access to the path "C:\Inetpub\www _genesis\propos al" is
denied.

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested
resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource
to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base
process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNE T on IIS 5 or
Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application
is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating
via <identity impersonate="tr ue"/>, the identity will be
the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAM E) or the
authenticated request user.

To grant ASP.NET write access to a file, right-click the
file in Explorer, choose "Properties " and select the
Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or
group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes
for the desired access.

---Now, I have done this, the aspnet user has full
control to that folder, including write permissions. I
even went as far as to give the aspnet user full control
over my entire C: drive, just to see if that would help,
no such luck.

I'm not using impersonation, that is also not the issue.

I've tried this on 2 different servers and it isn't
working anywhere. I used to have this problem w/ .net
1.0 and I would give the aspnet user write permissions to
the directory I'm trying to write to - everything would
work just fine.

Now that I'm using .net 1.1 I'm seeing that this isn't
working at all, is the framework the problem? is there
some sort of security issue with the new 1.1 release
preventing me from writing a file?

Thanks for your help!
