I just made my first .net website. I'm trying to use the following line of code to load a file from the current directory ( same diredtory all the web files are in). I get a error saying file does not exist
InstallFormTemp = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("installerform.html")
I copied the file to my c drive and chnage the line to
InstallFormTemp = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("c:installerform.html")
it worked, but now my site has to run a godaddy's webserver, so I cannot save stuff in the c drive, just my web directory.
How can I get My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText to read files from the websites current directory?

View 7 RepliesI found the following example of how to print a root directory on the net
Code:
Sub Main()
Dim Current As String
Dim Root As String
Current = Directory.getCurrentDirectory()
Root = Directory.GetDirectoryRoot(Current)
Root = Directory.GetDirectoryRoot("")
Console.WriteLine("Current directory {0}", Current)
Console.WriteLine("Root directory {0}", Root)
End Sub
However it just causes the error "name directory not declared"
I'm trying to copy the directories located on a root drive (J:) to another location (c:vagtilleder..)The problem is, the first folder isn't beeing copied.Example:
J:
ootfoldersubfolder1subfolder2
After the copy it should look like this at the destination:
c:vagtilleder..
ootfoldersubfolder1subfolder2
But for some reason, "rootfolder" is not created at the destination, making the destination look like this:
c:vagtilleder..subfolder1subfolder2

I am currently using the Directory.GetFiles("Path of folder", "Specific Data") to search a folder for specific files and then do something with those files - this works perfectly. However i would like to search all sub folders within the top level folder also.I have seen ways to return what directories exist within the top level - which i could then use to search but was wondering if there is an easier way.
View 5 RepliesMy website is in the root directory, which is [URL]. I am using this:
Dim appPath As String = HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath
Dim directory As String = appPath & "/upload/" & Left(TableName, 2) & "/"
to get the path and it's working very well. But when I create a new sub-folder and copy some pages from the root directory into the sub-folder, my images are not displayed because the path has changed. This is the link from the page in the root directory:

I have a straight-forward task I'm attempting to accomplish. I have the mechanics down, and need to hammer out the details but I'm stumbling across one small point. :)
This script is supposed to take the files in the local C:Temp directory, and copy them to a selected user's shared directory on the file server.
Protected Sub btnCopy_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles btnCopy.Click
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory("C:Temp", "\MAVERICKVOL1Users" & ddlName.SelectedValue & "DESKTOPRECORDINGS", True)
End Sub
This script does indeed work (and I'm aware I need to create exception handling) but it only copies what contents are on the server's directory of C:Temp rather than the local source directory.
I'm using VB.NET/ASP.NET to achieve this.
How am I able to direct my function to use the local user's directory rather than the remote server?
