I have set up a virtual directory on ISS 6.0 to store the all .jpg and .swf
files which i use in my project
It is alias name is "OutSrc"

Is it possible to acquire a list of files which exist in that virtual
directory ?

For my default project directory, i can get list of the specific files like
that;
*******************
DirectoryInfo drc = new DirectoryInfo("~/banners");
FileInfo[] FileLst = drc.GetFiles("*.swf");
*******************
But, how about for the virtaul directory, Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
 
Hi Eliyahu ,

The physical path of my OutPic virtual directory is "C:\Media\Banners" and
if i use
DirectoryInfo sf = new DirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath("OutPic"));
It returs "'c:\inetpub\wwwroot\defaultsite\OutPic"
but the real physical path is "C:\Media\Banners" and the virtual path
is"'c:\inetpub\wwwroot\OutPic"

Sorry bu i don't understand that how can i convert the virtual path to
physical with MapPath ?
Thanks

You can always convert a virtual path to the physical one with the MapPath
method. After this you can use the same DirectoryInfo calls.

ohh sory for the mistake,
Yes Patrice, u are right, the "OutPic" is must be "OutSrc" .
the alias name of the virtual directory is "OutSrc" .
output of the Server.MapPath("~/OutSrc") is
"c:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\defaultsite\\OutSrc"

"defaultsite" is the default project site. That's why if i use
Server.MapPath in my project it returns value for the project site, and it
puts
"defaultsite" before the OutSrc.

Is this OutPic or OutSrc as you named it in IIS according to your first
post ?

What is the output for Server.MapPath("~/OutSrc") ?

There is an override of MapPath method for HttpRequest that take 3
parameters:

I have never used it myself, just wondering if you can get any use of it.
