Creating Directories with ASP.NET and C# code

[Senthil]

Con is the file name for a reserved device name(i think
it is for console). So you cannot create a file with
name 'con'. choose some other name

Hi everyone, I am having a problem with creating directories using theDirectory classes static member function CreateDirectory .

Here is the following code that I am trying to run that is causing theproblem.
string patient_path = @"c:\inetpub\ww wroot\EMRWeb\Pa tient_Files\304 0"Directory.Crea teDirectory(pat ient_path);
Directory.Crea teDirectory(pat ient_path + @"\RAD");
Directory.Crea teDirectory(pat ient_path + @"\MISC");
Directory.Crea teDirectory(pat ient_path + @"\LAB");
Directory.Crea teDirectory(pat ient_path + @"\CON");

when the following code runs, the last line always gives the followingerror:
"could not find a part of the path c:\"
The other CreateDirectory calls create the directories properly, so it mustbe something with the name of the path
"c:\inetpub\ww wroot\EMRWeb\Pa tient_Files\304 0\CON"

I have also tried usually the following substitue code to the same thing butit also gives a error when creating the CON subfolder:

DirectoryInf o dir = new DirectoryInfo(p atient_path);
dir.Create() ;
dir.CreateSubd irectory("RAD") ;
dir.CreateSubd irectory("MISC" );
dir.CreateSubd irectory("LAB") ;
dir.CreateSubd irectory("CON") ;
I don't think it is a problem with permissions because the other directoriesare created properly, but these are the security and permission settings.The identity of the asp.net application is running under the default ASPNETuser account created by .NET framework. The ASPNET account has fullcontroll access folder "c:\inetpub\www root\EMRWeb\Pat ient_Files" and thepermissions are inherited for any subfolders.

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated

thanks

The identity of the asp.net application is running under

the default ASPNET

account has full

folder "c:\inetpub\www root\EMRWeb\Pat ient_Files" and the

permissions are inherited for any subfolders.
