I'm trying to find a root folder on the server. Nothing works, or works wrong
@{ string [] list = Directory.GetFiles(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()); foreach(var item in list) { <p>@item</p> } } Shows exactly what I don't need
@{ string [] list = Directory.GetFiles("~/"); foreach(var item in list) { <p>@item</p> } }
Doesn't work
How to solve this?
You can use the following:
Server.MapPath("~"); The ~ is always the root in an ASP.NET application. If you insert it in a Razor view it will be translated to the appropriate path for "external access", e.g. ~/Content/site.css will be converted to /Content/site.css if the site is hosted in the root directory or to e.g. /Page1/Content/site.css if it is hosted at a virtual directory called Page1. Therefor to get the absolute path you need to "map it".
If you do not have access to Server you can also use HostingEnvironment.ApplicationPhysicalPath.
Try
Server.MapPath("~"); or:
HostingEnvironment.ApplicationPhysicalPath Refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178116.aspx. For your ease i have modified your code:
string [] list = Directory.GetFiles(Server.MapPath("~")); StringBuilder sb=new StringBuilder(); foreach (var item in list) { sb.Append(item + "\n"); } Response.Write(sb); Even though I am giving you answer, I will suggest try to have path which is configurable in web.config or in the database because fixing paths are like hard coding the login ID :). Hope you got me.
Thanks
