Hi,

In my ASP.NET application I want to rerieve the APPDATA folder of the logged
in user. The Web Application is using C# .NET 1.1 and has
Impersonation=True

I use this code:

"string
appdata=Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData).ToString()";

If my Web application is launched as an Administrator then variable gets
set, but if the user who launches it is not a Domain Administrator the
variable is blank and I get an Exception.


Is this expected behviour?
Can I expect this to work with .NET 2.0 ??

thanks,
 
The logged-in user must have FileIOPermissionAccess.PathDiscovery permission
to execute this method.

Thanks Kevin.

When you say "must have this permission". Is this somthing set
environmentally, or is it just enabled it in code for any user?

It is a System or Active Directory permission that must be granted to the
user account.
