Hi,

My ASPX code is trying to read a file on a mapped drive. But I get the
error below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Could not find a part of the path 'Z:\Events.nss'.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the
current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information
about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a
part of the path 'Z:\Events.nss'.
 
you mapped the Z drive - not the web server account your running under or
even impersonating, so it doesn't exist.

Basically, your drive needs to be mapped using a UNC path and the
aspnet_user needs to be a domain account in order to
access a network share.
