path in querystring

[Miro]

Hi!

How can I get a path from a Html (or aspx, it doesn't
matter) to an aspx-site.

I'm sending a path (C:\dir...\file) from the html-page
within a querystring:

page.aspx?path=C:\dir...\file
in the page_load i recieve the path:
String path = Request.QueryString["path"];
....but I can't use it in for example:
File.Exist(path);
The debuggger shows an "@" in front of the path-string:
@"C:\dir...\file"

Did you try it? The "@" is added to the output by the debugger, because the
string
contains a backslash. The "real" string doesn't contain that "@".
Try displaying the string in a textbox (or whatever, as long as it is not
the debugger)
then you will see the correct text.

Hello Hans!

The File.Exist method returns false though the path is
correct. But I guess it has something to do with spaces
in path because the path contained the folder \Documents
and settings\. When I tried a simple path C:\file it
returned true. Anyway, I found a different solution for
this case, not involving querystrings. Thanks anyway!
