Referring to a Local Machine from a WebService

[supersav144]

Hi there,

i have a simple application which connects to a web service and then this web service creates a file on the machine which the application was accessed on...

the problem i have though is that when i use the web service im not sure how i need to or the format to refer to the local machine (i.e do i use machine name, the IP address??) in order to save the file to this local machine.

Any help would be much appreciated!

can you show us your code and the error that you are receiving?

[supersav144]

string file = textbox1.text;
//retrieves the selected filename
string linkname = Path.GetFileNam eWithoutExtensi on(@"" + file + "").Substring(0 );
string directory = Path.GetDirecto ryName(@"" + file + "").Substring(0 );

StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(di rectory + "\\" + linkname + ".txt")

this is part of the code which i am using within the webservice...it creates a new text file in the same directory and with the same name as the file entered into the text box!

the problem im having is that because its a web service its not recognising the local machine and so it cannot create the new file to the local machine
