Hi,

I'm trying to write my own File Upload module for the Portal and am a little confused about WHERE to put the file.

Currently I have:

InputFile.PostedFile.SaveAs("c:\\Temp\\"+ParsedFileName);

Which works great to save the file in c:\Temp.

But I want to save files in the images subdirectory of my portal and I'm not sure how to specify that directory. I don't want to hard code in the directory name (or even put it in web.config). Is there a way to find out where my home directory is for the web page? Then I could just append ~/images to it.

FYI... there are alot of free File Upload controls available but I wanted to give this a try myself since it seemed easy.

Take a look at either Page.MapPath( "~" ) or Server.MapPath( "~" );
You could also use MapPath("Images") -- (or something like this).

Thanks Steve for pointing me in the right direction. Here is the line of
code I used...
string SaveAsFileName = Page.MapPath( "~\\images" ) + "\\" + ParsedFileName;

Thanks!

Karen

The portal has an example of using the FileUpload capabilities of .NET.
Check out the EditDocs.aspx file in the DesktopModules folder.
