Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData problem

[Brian Stoop]

Hi,

In my ASP.NET application I want to rerieve the APPDATA folder of the logged
in user. The Web Application is using C# .NET 1.1 and has
Impersonation=T rue

I use this code:

"string
appdata=Environ ment.GetFolderP ath(Environment .SpecialFolder. ApplicationData ).ToString()";

If my Web application is launched as an Administrator then variable gets
set, but if the user who launches it is not a Domain Administrator the
variable is blank and I get an Exception.


Is this expected behviour?
Can I expect this to work with .NET 2.0 ??

thanks,

[Kevin Spencer]

The logged-in user must have FileIOPermissio nAccess.PathDis covery permission
to execute this method.
