Creating folders dynamically

[DateWifaDiff]

Dim MyPath, MyName As String


MyPath = Request.PhysicalApplicationPath & "images\user\" & Format(Now, "dd_MM_yy") ' Set the path.
MyName = Dir(MyPath, vbDirectory) ' Retrieve the first entry.

Try
If MyName = "" Then ' The folder is not there & to be created
Dim objDir As New DirectoryInfo(Request.PhysicalApplicationPath & "images\user\" & Format(Now, "dd_MM_yy"))

objDir.Create()

End If

i am getting an error:-

Could not find a part of the path "d:\".


Is there a special way to create folders within the website?

the code above works fine on my own machine

Whats your domain

[DateWifaDiff]

datewithadifference.com

lokking to dynamically create folders in wwwroot\images\user

[DaveLegg]

I had a similar problem to this at one point turned out to be a permissions error and paul fixed it quickly

[paulredpath]

Can you try now please?

[DateWifaDiff]

just tried it there no luck it would seem

still same error

changed the paths to be hardcoded

here's the code

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Put user code to initialize the page here

'todo

'Needed on every page
intUserID = CInt(Session("UserID"))
If intUserID = 0 Then
'user has no session
Response.Redirect("../UserLogin/Login.aspx", True)
End If


If Not Me.IsPostBack Then

''FIRST WE NEED TO CHECK THAT THE FOLDER FOR TODAYS PHOTOS HAS BEEN CREATED

Dim MyPath, MyName As String
MyPath = "d:\domains\datewithadifference.com\wwwroot\images \user\" & Format(Now, "dd_MM_yy") ' Set the path.

MyName = Dir(MyPath, vbDirectory) ' Retrieve the first entry.

Try
If MyName = "" Then ' The folder is not there & to be created
'Folder created
Dim objDir As New DirectoryInfo("d:\domains\datewithadifference.com\ wwwroot\images\user\images\user\" & Format(Now, "dd_MM_yy"))

objDir.Create()

End If

ouch and ehh not sure if i have actually overwritten folder and lost permissions

doh

sorrrrrrrrrrry




are there any helm add-on to let us manage permission?

[paulredpath]

Um, open a ticket with how to test the code and ill take a poke.

[WhiskyFudge]

Just to check is there meant to be a space before 'user' or is that just the way the forum is displaying the code?

just the way the forum is displaying them.......i noticed that when i was posting and double checked my code....and the text of the posting

so sadly it wasn't that easy.......:-(
