How do I create a temporary file on a server?

[Guest]

I need to create a temporary file on a server. How do I do it? I tried
using IO.Path but it created a local file; i.e., file://C:......

Depending on how large the file is... you can also use a memorystream.

Here is an example.
Dim filePath As String = Server.MapPath(ArticleStorage) & "\Art" &
txtArticleID.Text & "\" & "Art" & txtArticleID.Text & ".html"



If System.IO.File.Exists(filePath) Then

System.IO.File.Delete(filePath)

End If

' Create an instance of StreamWriter to write text to a file.

Dim sw As System.IO.StreamWriter = New System.IO.StreamWriter(filePath)

Dim hWriter As System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter

hWriter = New System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter(sw)

'// Continiue to write and then close it.

Can a memory stream be "saved" within a session?

Thanks

I don't see why not. It should only take a minute to try it, no? If that
doesn't work, use ToArray to convert it to a byte array and store that.
