go one level up of Application directory

[parshupooja]

Hey All,

I have following directory structure on server
C:\data\inetpub \wwwroot\MyApp
C:\data\inetpub \wwwroot\Images

My App is my application and I have MyPage.aspx there. In that MyPage I want to access images from C:\data\inetpub \wwwroot\Images folder.

I tried Server.Mappath( ) in several ways but it throws error.
string filename = Server.MapPath( "~/Images/" + DateTime.Now.Ye ar.ToString() + "/Q" + currentquater.T ext.Trim());
Any Idea?
Thanks in advance

Well, in this situation:
C:\data\inetpub \wwwroot\MyApp
C:\data\inetpub \wwwroot\Images

Your could just use "/Images/imagename.jpg" without using any server.mappath or the ~ or anything?

Ya i did that, it does not throw error but I can't see images either. Page loads without errors but intstead of images I see small cross sign
string filename = "C:\data\inetpu b\wwwroot\Image s\" + DateTime.Now.Ye ar.ToString() + "/Q" + currentquater.T ext.Trim());

thanks

Try this:
src= "\Images\" + DateTime.Now.Ye ar.ToString() + "/Q" + currentquater.T ext.Trim());

You should be putting those direct file paths in like that for webpage.


EDIT:
Wait, I thought these were for <img> tags.
You want to use them in the code behind?
Which is it?

nope this is not image tag. basically I am creating a file name in this string and than I m checking all images stored in filea and finally loading into datalist control.

Well then, assuming your file-naming pattern is correct, this should work in backend:
string filename = "C:\data\inetpu b\wwwroot\Image s\" + DateTime.Now.Ye ar.ToString() + "/Q" + currentquater.T ext.Trim());

But you cannot use that format in image tags.
