Hi,
I've been using
Environment.Get FolderPath(Envi ronment.Special Folder.Applicat ionData) to get
the application data folder for ASP.Net applications using IIS5.0 where it
works for both the ASPNet machine account and for a different account if i
configure the ASP.Net process to run as an alternative account by altering
the machine.config file. It gives me back
C:\Documents and Settings\myuser \Application Data where i'm using a local
user called myuser as the ASP.Net process account.
When i tried the same on a IIS6.0 box by using the default application pool
which is configured to use the NetwrokService user, or if i configure it to
use a different account i keep getting an empty string back which the SDK
gives the following explanation for
The path to the specified system special folder, if that folder physically
exists on your computer; otherwise, the empty string ("").
A folder will not physically exist if the operating system did not create
it, the existing folder was deleted, or the folder is a virtual directory,
such as My Computer, which does not correspond to a physical path.
If anyone can explain why this is so i would appreciate it, I need to be
able to create folders and files at such a location where i would prefer not
to use isolated storage and since i cannot write to the CommonApplicati onData
specila folder without granting specific permissions i would prefer to use
the ApplicationData special folder.
Thanks in advance

I forgot to say i did log the new app pool identitiy user in on the IIS6.0
machine so the profile and therefore the ApplicationData folder exist on the
machine.

Hello,
My ASP.NET hoster has made a separate folder in my hosting space and
configured it as separate application in IIS. Further, I created "bin"
folder in this directory, and put in my aspx pages that all use code-behind.
All works fine, but I was dismayed finding out that is is possible to write
direct URL to an assembly in the bin folder, and IIS would allow to download
pure code. That's somewhat very worg, isn't it?

I have given the following users full access to a folder + all sub folders
ASPNET
IUSR_(MachineName)
IWAM_(MachineName)
but when my webservice tries to create a TXT file in the folder in question
access is denied and an exception is thrown. I have temporarily corrected
this by giving full access to everyone but obviously I am not entirely happy
with this solution :-)

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
