Hi,
Given a file Path, for example "C:\Data\Sample s".
How do I convert this to "\\Server\Share \Data\Samples"
The original "C:" , "F:" etc may be local or a mapped network drive.
I am trying to ensure the path (stored as sting in database) is valid from
any machine, regardless of the drive mappings and shares on the machine.
any suggestions,
Tim

Hi Tim,
I think that than the best thing you can do is using the directeryinfo and
see if it is in that.
Not checked,
Probably you will have to set that in a try block.
I hope this helps?

What do you mean with "valid"? Do you want to check if the path exists?
Have a look at the 'System.IO' namespace, 'Directory.Exis ts'.

FYI
I have used a combination of API's WNetGetUniversa lName and NetShareEnum.
WNetGetUniversa lName gives you the mapped drives, NetShareEnum gives you the
local shared drives. By checking both of these you can establish the UNC
name of a folder or file.

I wonder if someone can help with this -
I 'm creating an IISVirtualDirectory, and setting its Path property to the
physical path I want to reference. This works fine when I have a standard
file path - 'C:/Test' - however I sometimes have a UNC path -
'//remoteComputer/Test' - and IIS appears to choke when it's given that.
So, is there any way of translating a UNC path to the physical path on the
remote computer? ie: Translating '...

Hi,
On MSDN I know there is a JScript example (Upgrading Visual C++ Projects to
Visual Studio .NET in Batch Mode) to upgrade VS6 C++ projects to .NET
solutions.
It converts the project files (*.dsp), but doesn't create the solution
(*.sln) file.
Is there an automated way to convert an existing VS6 C++ *.dsw to a .NET
*.sln?

Having problems converting Murach's Beginning Visual Basic.net (Prince) and

any of them. These are just two example sources of many. What should I be

I have converted a number of applications to enable them to work together on
a network. I have been led to believe that I can do this as follows:
FileStream fs = new FileStream(some code);
while (!fs.CanRead){allow the processor to handle another thread;}
Hoverer, doing some tests I find out that the solution isn't working.
Is there a simple way out?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
