directory listing

Hello,

I'd like my asp.net page to display a list of hyperlinks representing
the
files contained in a specific directory. The contents of this
directory
will change, but the directory does not contain any subfolders, only
pdf
files. The resulting list of hyperlinks should not allow a user to
'save
link as', to download the file, but rather only allow the user to view
the
file in their browser. What is the easiest way to get such a list on
my
page?

Thanks

1. Create a directory /PDFs in your webfolder and mark it in IIS or you
deployment project as readable.
2. In your app list the directory using system.io.file / directory
namespaces
3. foreach directory read filename and path into a structure

an easy way is to create a dataset with a table (filename, date, etc...).
Adv. is you can bind that to a datagrid where you can use a link / template
column to show your link

Dim fis As IO.FileInfo() = dir.GetFiles()
Dim fi As IO.FileInfo

For Each fi In fis
Response.Write( fi.Name)
Next fi

Hi - I'm hoping for help with the auto-generation of a hyperlinked listing of all files in a directory. The server I use does not auto-generate this. So, when someone comes to this directory and thus opens index.htm, I want that file to show a listing of all files in the directory with hyperlinks to them. Thanks for the help, Doug

Hi, I was wondering how to open up a web directory to get a file listing. The directory I want to open allows directory listings, but has a directory password. Meaning it gives me a prompt to put in a username and password when I go to the web address in internet explorer. Once I put in the correct username and password, it shows the directory listing.

My site is hosted on a Godaddy reseller site. Godaddy only allows the use of Curl to access remote sites. What is the method for listing a directory after connecting to the site with Curl?

Overview: 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,...

Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
