relative path problem

Mostafa

Hello,

I need to use a relative URL path instead of the system path inside the
<wmx:> tag in the following code:

<wmx:AccessData SourceControl id="AccessDataS ourceControl1" runat="server"
SelectCommand=" SELECT * FROM [ContactInfo]"
ConnectionStrin g="Provider=Mic rosoft.Jet.OLED B.4.0; Ole DB Services=-4; Data
Source=D:/nrcweb2/db/contact.mdb"></wmx:AccessDataS ourceControl>
I have tried to do it this way,

<wmx:AccessData SourceControl id="AccessDataS ourceControl1" runat="server"
SelectCommand=" SELECT * FROM [ContactInfo]"
ConnectionStrin g="Provider=Mic rosoft.Jet.OLED B.4.0; Ole DB Services=-4; Data
Source=" &
Server.MapPath(/nrcweb2/db/contact.mdb")></wmx:AccessDataS ourceControl>

But I always get a parser error. It seems that functions cannot be evaluated
within the tag.

Please help me

Thank you

Mostafa

You need to include the vb.net code within server script tags like so:

<wmx:AccessData SourceControl id="AccessDataS ourceControl1" runat="server"
SelectCommand=" SELECT * FROM [ContactInfo]"
ConnectionStrin g="Provider=Mic rosoft.Jet.OLED B.4.0; Ole DB Services=-4; Data
Source=" &
<%# Server.MapPath(/nrcweb2/db/contact.mdb") %>

</wmx:AccessDataS ourceControl>

I am sorry but I tried this one and it still doesn't work.

<wmx:AccessData SourceControl id="AccessDataS ourceControl1" runat="server"
ConnectionStrin g="Provider=Mic rosoft.Jet.OLED B.4.0; Ole DB Services=-4; Data
Source= <%# Server.MapPath( "/nrcweb2/db/contact.mdb") %>"
SelectCommand=" SELECT * FROM [ContactInfo]"></wmx:AccessDataS ourceControl>

The parser assumes the end of the string once it encounters an " . I have
tried ' instead of " but still doesn't work, although it gives different
error:

<wmx:AccessData SourceControl id="AccessDataS ourceControl1" runat="server"
ConnectionStrin g="Provider=Mic rosoft.Jet.OLED B.4.0; Ole DB Services=-4; Data
Source= <%# Server.MapPath( '/nrcweb2/db/contact.mdb') %>"
SelectCommand=" SELECT * FROM [ContactInfo]"></wmx:AccessDataS ourceControl>

Can you please write the complete corrected tag?

Sorry for the trouble, I appreciate your help
