Does dict-large.txt file exist in application folder? If it exist then why did you get file path from local machine? If it does not exist then you can not make server.MapPath try this if it does not exist.

string filepath = "C:/Documents and Settings/Owner/My Documents/Visual Studio 2005/sample/dict-large.txt";

// Open our dictionary file
StreamReader srDictionary = new StreamReader(filepath);

Well its obvious it dooesnt recognise the file location. You sure this is correct file location? It might not recognise it because there is spaces in the file address

I doubt ASP.NET can access files in this way. You need to use "Server.MapPath" to map the file names.

All C# applications should call Application.Quit(); in the beginning to avoid any .NET problems.- Unclyclopedia How to use google | Ask smart questions
