Access A File Using Relative Path Or Virtual Path?

May 22, 2012

I 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.

Way To Make File Path 'relative'

Aug 17, 2009

I have a form with a tabbed control on it. Each tab in the control simply loads an existing file in a reader to display to the user. I have added the files in a folder in my project. When I debug it works great. However, when I publish and move it to another computer, the program runs fine but none of the files show in the tab control tabs. The files do come with the solution when I publish.[code]I know there is a way to make the file path "relative" but I cannot figure out how and there really isn't many resources available to explain how this can be done.

Relative Path To Create Setup File?

Jun 10, 2011

I have completed my VB project using vb 2008 express edition..I am not able to create a set up file for my project and I think it is because of the file path i have provided in my program

dbSource = "Data Source = C:Documents and SettingscfadminDesktopLead_managementLead_Management_ProjectLead_Management_ProjectLondon.mdb"

The above path is a fixed path which connects my program to the database. Now when I create a set up file and try to run on another machine it wont recognize this path . have placed the database in the same folder that of the program.

How To Find Relative Path Of Batch File For Access

Jan 11, 2010

In vb.net, when writting an application, I want to access a batch file that has been added to the project. My question is how to I find the relative path of this file to access it? I have used relative path on the ASP.NET side, but not on the application side. The properties that I am finding regarding the current directory and running directory and the likes are all for the bin directory its in. While I can use the CurrentDirectory() property and go up two parents (....) in the development environment, when I install the application, the structure is not the same. As in the output is in a single folder, not tiered.

Example. c:projectsMyAppindebugMyApp.exe is the running directory
My file I want to access is at c:projectsMyAppvalidate.bat
so "c:projectsMyApp" is what I am trying to capture.

Use Relative Paths But Also Read From Full File Names?

Sep 5, 2009

My program has to store files externally to work with. Before now the path was fixed at C:/DSGameMaker, I did the following:

System.IO.File.ReadAllText("C:/DSGameMaker/data.dat")

However I want to let users install the program wherever they want, so I changed that line and others to:

System.IO.File.ReadAllText("data.dat")

Which works great, until you do this:

System.IO.File.ReadAllText("D:/X/Y.Z")

As soon as I put a fixed path into the ReadAllText function it changes the relative path to D:/X. Which means the following function looks inside D:/X instead of the apps directory:

System.IO.File.ReadAllText("data.dat")

And complains that "D:/X/data.dat" is not found.
How can I use relative paths but also read from full file names, for example from an OpenFileDialog, without VB changing my relative path, and breaking it all from then onwards?

Read A Games Log File As It Is Running?

Sep 9, 2011

I'm trying to read a log file for a game so I can extract certant info from it and track my stats as the game is running, but I keep getting access denied error for the log file. I would also like to have the log read only after it has been changed but the event handler never fires. I'm assuming it has to do with the access error. Can someone give me an example of how to watch a text file that's in use by another program and read it after it changes. The code I have works if I open the file in notpad, change it then save it but not when the game is running. I did it once before for the same game but lost my code and there are other programs that parse the log file so I know it can be done.
