Relative #include files

Hi All

I have recently purchased visual studio 2003 and I am trying to get my web
application working in it. I have created a solution and a VB (ASP Dot Net
Web Application). I have coppied my entire previous web app into the root. I
can get a few asp pages running, but my application makes extensive use of
#include files and references them as follows: -

<!--#include file="../Classes/SomeFile.asp"-->

When running this I get the error (Disallowed Parent Path - The include file
XXX cannot contain '...' to indicate the parent directory.

Does anyone know whey this is happening and how I can fix it.

Many thanks in advance
Joe

Get rid of your includes and learn about user controls and dll's, which is
the .net replacement for them and is a much more object oriented approach to
development for asp.net.

I am designing a website at the moment and looking at the difference between relative and absolute url links which is driving me crazy!

I am trying to <include> some text into an XML documentation topic, but that text is stored in a file that is in a different directory than the "current" XML file. Using a relative path does not appear to work, because the base being used is the Common7\IDE directory, not my original source directory. Here is the situation: MyApp directory contains the file Form1.cs, Form1.xml, and Generic.xml. There is also a subdirectory called...

I have an attributed ATL project (call it B) that I am building with Microsoft Visual C++ .NET (55537-640-3684941- 18356). In the project I include the COM generated file A.h (from another ATL project A). The compiler interprets this and injects the command "import A.idl" into the idl for B. So far everything is okay. The problem is that when I build project B in debug, it references A.idl using the absolute path. When I build...

Hi, can someone tell me how to set up relativ paths in VS2003 C++ ?

I am playing around with some PHP code. I want to put in an include() function so I can include existing HTML code and output it to the browser. Lo and behold PHP does not support relative paths with the include() function! (How shortsighted can you get?) Is there any way at all to use relative paths with include()? Any hacks? If I use an absolute filepath, everything is fine. But I don't want to do that--I can't do that. I want...
