Security Settings of System.IO.FileExists, I should see files

[Christian Blackburn]

Hi Gang,

I am unable to get either system.io.fileexists() = true or Dir() <> ""
to work in my ASP.net/VS 2003 web project. Can someone tell me or
point me to some instructions on how to enable file enumeration. I
know the files I'm checking for exist. I tried using both the full
path and just enumerating files in the same folder and only specifiying
the file name. In both instances I experienced failure. This must be
a common problem. So thank you so much for a common solution .

Thanks,
Christian Blackburn

Hi Cor,

Yes I'm aware I'm reading files on the server. In fact I think this
works on my ISP, but I can't test that, because the front page
extensions need to be repaired on the remote web server. So I'm just
coding no my own system and want to know what I can do to the security
settings to make it work. Also I know it's System.Io.File.Exists, that
was just a silly typo .

Thanks,

Hi,

In the adminstrative tools in the control panel open up Internet
Information Services (iis) manager. Expand websites -> default website ->
YourWebProject. Right click on your web project and select properties.
Make sure the directory browsing box is checked.
