Create folder programmaticall y under IIS Web Site

Hi All,

I want to programmaticall y(c# fmw 2.0) create a folder under my IIS
Web Site. I figured that I needed to create an entry in the IIS
Metabase.

So, after investigating a while and i figured out something pretty
weird:

I downloaded a source code that allowed me to do what I wanted.
However, it's written in asp.net v1.0 and I needed in v2.0. So, I
converted it to that version.

Well, you all can imagine it must have worked, but you're wrong: it
didn't (i'm pretty sure is that because i tried: copying the
procedures and functions I needed to a asp.net v2.0 project. Then,
after the last try didn't work, I tried converting the entire solution
to v2.0 and it did it successfully).

I don't know why, but the v1.0 application is able to create the entry
at the metabase under my virtual directory(IIS://localhost/W3SVC/<web
site id>/root/<new dir's name>) but when I try to do the same using
the v2.0 app i get the following error:

System.Runtime. InteropServices .COMException (0x80070003): The system
cannot find the path specified.

Do you have any clue on this?

Thanks,

I am lead to believe, then, that I should be able to programmatically (sp) open this folder. The System.IO...

I am having problems using the file.create method within a function that is called when looping through an array of filepaths. If I call my function with a hardcoded file path --C:\Temp.txt the function creates the file as expected. When I loop through my array I get the error - "ArgumentException was unhandled - Illegal characters in path" The value "C:\Temp.txt" is the first value in the array - as it works

I want to create a database with one table on the host. I can't user SQL Server Management Studio to do it so I guess I have to do it programmatically. I have in mind that in the session start (or maybe application start would be better) I'd check to see it the database exists and if not create it. The problem is that I have no idea how to do that.

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,...
