Problem with filepath while reading to filestream

[anujose]

i have the path of a file in a string variable. i am reading that using the following code new FileStream(path, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read); it's working fine when i execute from local machine .when i upload it into server it is showing the error 'Could not find a part of the file.. Any one can help me......... Anu

try this code new FileStream(Server.MapPath(path), FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read); Best Regard Pathan

Then it'is coming like this 'D:\Anu\Pic1.bmp' is not a valid virtual path.

You can't read a file that doesn't exist. Put the file that you want to read on the server. Put the virtual path to the file in the path variable, and use Server.MapPath(path) to get the physical path to the file.

Guffa was right and I just submit his answer with simple code //fudoc is HtmlInuptFile //UplDoc is Folder inside project FileInfo fInfo = new FileInfo(fudoc.Value.ToString());//here get path of local machine fudoc.PostedFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~/UplDoc/") + fInfo.Name);//here save file in folder which exists in project after this read file from Folder UplDoc FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(Server.MapPath("~/UplDoc/filename.extension")); Hope it helped

You can't do that directly SO you want to read the Uploaded file then use fileuploadID.PostedFile.InputStream as input to Stream reader and read the file

i think no need to save also give one of the steamreader parameter as uploadfileCntrolID.Postedfile.InputStream

It was my quick answer Addition in my previous post: After the job is done with file then file can be deleted FileInfo fdelete = new FileInfo(Server.MapPath("~/UplDoc/filename.extension")); fdelete.Delete();

The example code will be exactly as Pathan showed: new FileStream(Server.MapPath(path), FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read); The path in the path variable should be a virtual path, like for example "/SomeFolder/SomeFile.txt".
