Hello all,Can anyone pls tell me how to specify relative paths in a website??
i have created a website and want to access a text file present in the website root directory.i want to know the no. of records in that text file
i have written the following code
int length = new StreamReader(@" \Files\Names.tx t").ReadToEnd() .Split(new char[] { '\n' }).Length;
It is giving file not found exception!
Plz help

Welcome to TSDN. You need to think about what the path is relative to - localhost?

Thanks
Do you mean to say that running website in filesystem would make a difference??
i have used the following code now
TextReader tr = new StreamReader(Sy stem.AppDomain. CurrentDomain.B aseDirectory + "\\Library\\Nam es.txt");
will dis work with localhost??

i think so,
You could also use Server.MapPath

Cheers
