Where is my ".aspx" file located

[Jack]

Hi there,

In a submit button event, I need to open a (server-side) file relative to
the folder containing the ".aspx" file. What's the correct way to locate the
".aspx" folder itself inside my handler? Thanks in advance.

Creating or changing files will trigger your app to recompile, kicking

everyone off and resulting in a delay.

I'm reading a number of internal support files only (not ".aspx", ".html",
etc) but I'm not sure I follow you anyway. You mean if I change the ".aspx"
files themselves (which I have no intention of doing) then ASP.NET will
recompile the affected pages? Note that I'm new to ASP.NET but my conceptual
understanding of the ASP.NET lifecyle isn't too bad at this stage (having
read the MSDN docs at length). I'm no expert yet however so could you
briefly elaborate. Thanks.

You're fine reading files, but if you change any or create new ones then IIS
will unload your app then re-load it. It allows IIS to re-read new settings
in the web.config file etc. Browse to your app, change the web.config file
and save it, re-load your app and you'll see a delay cos IIS is unloading
and reloading it.

Ok, I'll need to research this further. Thanks for the info (appreciated).
