ASP.NET "Get path strPath = Session("Path").ToString()"

[Guest]

Hi all

I am having problem in ASP.NET and I hope I can find solution in here

While studying the "MCAD/MCSD Training Kit—Developing Web Applications with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and Microsoft Visual C# .NET" Training kit I get an error. Here is the error

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also have this information in my hand:-

IMPORTANT
To create and delete files, the ASPNET user account must have write and modify privileges in the application’s root folder. By default, the ASPNET user account has only read and execute privileges. See Chapter 9, “Building and Deploying Web Applications,†for information about how to assign security privileges in the application folder
---------------------------------------------

Currently I am accesing with VS Studion.Net account so ASPNET account is not a problem

My problem is how to get the path in ASP.NET. And this is not a PostBack event

Line 37: ' Get path
Line 38: strPath = Session("C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ASPNETEXAMPLES\Chapter-04c").ToString(
Line 39: ' If this is not a post-back event
Line 40: If Not IsPostBack The

Can anyone tell me where I can find information to correct the problem. But I am more than happy to write the correct code that if anyone knows the answer

I thank you in advance

This is because a session variable with that name hasn't been created, so
session("...") gets evaluated to Nothing. When you call .ToString() on
Nothing, you get a NullReferenceException. You need to make sure that
session variable is there before you try to do anything with it.

And/Or you don't need to call .ToString() anyway because Session isn't
data-type aware anyway. Everything in Session is a string.

This is because a session variable with that name hasn't been created, so
session("...") gets evaluated to Nothing. When you call .ToString() on
Nothing, you get a NullReferenceException. You need to make sure that
session variable is there before you try to do anything with it.

That isn't true. You can store objects in Session, and in fact, they come
back as such. You need to cast what you get from session to whatever
datatype is appropriate.

And/Or you don't need to call .ToString() anyway because Session isn't
data-type aware anyway. Everything in Session is a string.

This is because a session variable with that name hasn't been created, so
session("...") gets evaluated to Nothing. When you call .ToString() on
Nothing, you get a NullReferenceException. You need to make sure that
session variable is there before you try to do anything with it.
