Access Virtual Directory.

[j_stus]

Hi there,

I created virtual directory on IIS.
Alias Name = "ABC"
Then I created simple web site which has just one button.
When clicking on that button following code is executed:
Dim myFile As StreamReader = File.OpenText("/abc/MyFile.txt")
Dim line As String = myFile.ReadLine
Do While Not line Is String.Empty
Dim XXX As String = line
Loop
myFile.Close()

This is the error message I am getting:

Could not find a part of the path "C:\abc\MyFile. txt".

What am I doing wrong?

Does the folder have access permissions for the ASP.NET worker process ?

You'll want to check out Server.MapPath

How do I do it? I added aspwp user to that folder but problem is still
the same...

This is what I did:
Dim x As String = Server.MapPath( "/abc/MyFile.txt")
Then when I check x it is C:\Inetpub\wwwr oot\abc\myFile. txt...

Try IIS_WPG instead...

What is the operating system of your server ?

[Jeff Dillon]

So that is the correct path then?

Is it working?

I think it is because I can access this file from my browser
http://localhost/abc/myFile.txt

I am running WindowsXP

You want to do this:

File.OpenText(S erver.MapPath(" MyFile.txt"))
