How to open PDF from server?

[raghvendrapanda]

I want to open Pdf file from iframe. i have used this code where i am taking path from my application. string strOutPutPath = "../MPMA/MPMA Inventory/" + Session["Filename"].ToString() + ".pdf"; ifrm1.Attributes.Add("src", strOutPutPath); Inside MPMA Inventory all pdf files are there. Session giving my filename. But this is perfectally working if i am taking path from my application. But if i want to take path from server what should i do?Like i want server path instead of "../MPMA/MPMA Inventory/".

What do you mean not saved in the project? Are you trying to display a PDF from memory? Or is it located at a physical location? If the latter, then get the path and display it.

The files do not have to be in 'my project' but they do have to be in an internet share that have the proper permsissions set. IIS and aspnet do not have full run of the OS and can not directly access server paths as you mentioned without punching some big holes in security. So. Create a share, set permissions and you are good to go.
