I'm working on an asp.net project which has a form with a file attachment capability. Since I'm uploading the form on a server, I can't use a physical path. How do I use the asp:FileUpload with a virtual path?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to read and display a file using MapPath as follows :
Response.ContentType = "Application/pdf"
Dim FilePath As String = MapPath("../Document/123.pdf")
Response.WriteFile(FilePath)
Response.End()
This procedure will work fine and display in the browser. However, if I save the file to C:Document123.pdf, how can I access this file using relative path in MapPath function. Is there an option to access the file which is saved out of IIS server? I am using vb.net 2003.

Is there some way to generate a virtual disk/path?My application needs to generate a lot of temporary small files, edit them, write to disk, execude old executables in Fortran, and read the text files outputs.I cannot choose to avoid the fortran, because is out of my power to decide it.all that I/O is really expensive, because disk access is slow. But all the files involved are really small (including the executable), so they may fit on a few megabytes of RAM, and I have gigabytes of RAM available (RAM is really cheap today).Worse, I cannot parallelize, because it forces me to multiply I/O operations (I need to create, edit, and delete lots of small files).The perfect solution would be to have a small virtual disk in memory.I cannot use a virtual PC software, because users would have a hard time installing it (they have problem using windows explorer even to do simple tasks).
View 4 RepliesI'm having a bit of a problem with the web application I'm currently working on. In it there are a few Web User Controls that we use to display information on a bunch of different pages. They seem to compile alright and arent showing up any errors. The problem is trying to register them on other pages to access them is returning a 'file not found' error in visual studio (2005). I have them defined like this:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="cc2" TagName="ControlSelector" Src="~/components/controls/ControlSelector.ascx" %>
The strange thing is that when I remove the '~' from the front no error is shown but the path beomes ~//components/controls/ControlSelector.ascx when looking at the designer and obviously it cant find the control anyway.
I have a Access program and I'm using VBA code in the background to run Winunzip using shell command. Well, the path of the .zip file has spaces in it and it's not recongizing the path as a valid path. Is there a another way to tackle this problem besides the shell?I can't us pkzip either.

I'm using acrobat that returns unix paths instead of windows path's. So im wondering if there is a way in vb.net to convert the path to windows path.
i tried using:
docs(i) = javaScriptObj.path().ToString.Replace("/", "").Substring(1)
position = docs(i).IndexOf("")
docs(i) = docs(i).Substring(0, position) + ":" + docs(i).Substring(position + 1)
this only works on local files, but fails when im starting to use network drives.
I have a process which creates file names based on GUIDs in a particular path, in order to guarantee uniqueness. These files are then attached as a file when sending mail via System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient. The problem is I want to somehow rename the attachment name as it will appear in the email, rather than displaying the GUID. Is there a way to specify what the resulting file attachment name will be on the fly? I can't rename the phsyical file because there could be a potential for duplicates.

I'm providing a link button in my page (which contains a datagrid) so that when the user clicks on it they will be able to see the contents of the datagrid in a separate excel file. I provide the user with the option of attaching documents while they use my application. I would want that particular attachment to be embedded into excel document along with other contents. I don't want to specify the link(location) where the attachment is present.Instead I would need the attached document itself to be embedded into the excel file.

I'm writing my program in VB.Net,Part of my program is supposed to create a .eml file containing either an xml or a pdf file or both as attachments. Prior to writing this program, I had never seen what a .eml file looks like, let alone an .eml file with attachments(I never used any of the outlooks), so I got someone to send me an email containing both these attachments and save the .eml file, so I could use this as a template in my own program.However, I noticed that the pdf file, after having been attached, is a huge string of letters(see below). Probably some sort of encoding. My problem is, my program is going to be creating several different pdf files and adding them as attachments to .eml files. How do I encode the different pdf files into a similar huge string of text as the one below? Or am I going about this the wrong way? What would be an alternative way to do this? Because having to encode that long string of text seems like it would be a very daunting task.[code]

View 1 RepliesI have a number of files that are generated in a function defined as:[code]These files are immediately printed and the files are automatically saved to a directory; the files themselves are not for use by the actual software users. I timestamp the files to keep them uniquely identified for auditing purposes.I've now received a requirement to email some of these files externally to the company, and someone has complained that the current filenames are not user-friendly.So, I tried copying the generated file to a temp directory, with a friendlier name, emailing the friendlier file, then deleting it, leaving my audit trail intact, like so: [code]This throws a System.IO.IOException on the line System. IO.File. Delete (friendly FilePath) because the file is still in use, after it has been emailed.I've taken out the email code, which makes the copying and deleting work fine, so it's apparently attaching the file to the email which causes the problem.I've also tried breakpointing before the delete line, waiting five minutes, confirming the email has been sent, then advancing the code, but the same exception is still thrown.
