Can't access file. Please, help.

Hello,

In have a class inside a compiled DLL where I have the following code:

' Create site map XML document
Dim siteMap As XmlDocument = New XmlDocument
' Load site map XML document from ASP.NET web site map
siteMap.Load(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(Me.SiteMapUrl))

Me.SiteMapUrl is a property.

In my web site I use this class and I set Me.SiteMapUrl =
"~/Web.sitemap".

When I run the page I get an error saying:
"System.UnauthorizedAccessException was unhandled by user code
Message="Access to the path 'C:\Documents and Settings\User\My
Documents\Visual Studio 2005\WebSites\MyWebSite' is denied."

I went to MyWebSite folder Security and gave Full Control to:
ASP.NET Machine Account (SHAPPER\ASPNET)
and
Internet Guest Account (SHAPPER\IUSR_SHAPPER)

I keep having the same error.
I tried everything I could think off but I was not able to solve this.

Could someone tell me how to solve this?

Thanks,
Miguel

P.S: Here is my full error detail.

You should add the account networservice.
Good luck.

Not unless he's running Windows Server 2003.
I think shapper is running Windows XP Pro.

In any case, the account would be : NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE.

What shapper really needs to do is identify
the account which ASP.NET is running as.

shapper: save the following page to any web directory and run it.

identity.aspx:
------------------
<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<%@ Import NameSpace = System.Security.Principal %>
<script runat="server">
Sub Page_Load()
Dim tmp As String = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name()
Label1.Text = tmp
End Sub
</script>
<html>
<head>
<title>What account is ASP.NET running as ?</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" Runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Hi,

the account that code returned was "Shapper\Miguel"

I allready granted full permission to that account. It was one of the
first things I did.

I also granted Full permissions to Network Service.
This is what I have. I don't see NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE in the
list.

I keep having the same problem.
I am running Windows XP SP2

This is really strange.
I am on this for days.

Any idea?

Maybe the problem is in my code? I think it is not but I am out of
ideas...

Thanks,
Miguel
