If you answered my questions, I'd understand what your situation is, and I'd be able to give you a definitive answer. Is IIS running on your desktop, or on a remote computer ? Where did you publish your site to ?

If I don't, why it can run correctly on Visual Studio 2008?

I believe that the web server that's built in to visual studio doesn't enforce the sort of security that IIS does, simply because no-one is going to run a live website with it. Imagine if my site is on a web host that runs a lot of other sites. They are probably all going to be folders under the IIS root. So, if I were to write code that looks for files with a path starting in a .., I could try to read files that belong to another site. That's just one reason why IIS doesn't let you read or write above the root of the web application.

Your answer is absolutely right. If I save the file to one of the folders under the project, it works with IIS.

So I wonder if there is any way to write directly to another location like I did (Configure IIS for example) because when I searched information, some people say that there is a way by adding this line in web.config file between tag <system.web> and </system.web>:

<identity impersonate="true"/>

I tried, but it did not work.

What abt this code..!

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

    }
    protected void Button6_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        FileUpload1.SaveAs("D:\\a.txt");  <big><----</big>
    }

use the following code..!

//Make sure a folder exixt folder
FileUpload1.SaveAs(@"D:\SomeFolderName\" + FileUpload1.FileName);

Your wasting the time..! Cool | :cool:

That code placed in default.aspx.cs file is used to save a file whose path is got from FileUpload1 Control to D:\a.txt (Actually, it saves and change the original file's name into a.txt).

If I modify it as following, it works:

protected void Button6_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        FileUpload1.SaveAs(Server.Map("~")+@"\a.txt");  <----
    }

But I do want it to do directly on D: Drive (or another Drive, not C: Drive)

Yes, I tried and it worked, but this approach is not exactly what I want. If the path is got from Server.Map("~"), I just only work with C: Drive because wwwroot folder of IIS is only placed on C:Drive. I want to work with D: Drive instead.

Thanks,

This is most frequently asked question. There is a search box on the right top corner. You will find plenty of answers if you use that.

To answer the question, you need keep a flag in the database which will be set when user logs in and unset when logs out. When a user logs in, check the status of this flag and if it is set, say that user has logged already. This method is not fully foolproof. A common problem of this approach is your flag will not reset if user closes the browser without logging out.

Hooking JS method on window close and doing AJAX request to reset the flag is one possible option. But since JS can be turned off at the client side, this method is not reliable. A better approach is to record the last activity time of the user and a database job resets the flag if current time - last activity time is greater than session expiry limit.

A combination of all these methods will work well.

Best wishes,
Navaneeth

Whenever there's a postback (ie: the user submits a form etc, clicks a button, whatever), simply call a function that updates a field in your user table with the current date/time.
