Re: VB.NET - Could not find a part of the path ?

Abdullah,

AFAIK FileOpen is from Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace and it does
not support a filepath which is a UNC share.

You can use System.IO.StreamReader which supports unc shares.

Also I tried with a mapped drive and named it "F" and when I do
F:\NOVA\ESI\SCAN.TXT it doesn't work either !

what exception does it throw? I think this is because of same problem
because F: is _actually_ \\16.12.4.70\NOVA\ESI\SCAN.TXT

Hi,

I have developed a ASP.NET web application with VB.NET using VS.NET 2003

and am trying to do the following.

FileOpen(fn1, "\\16.12.4.70\NOVA\ESI\SCAN.TXT", OpenMode.Input,

OpenAccess.Read, OpenShare.Shared)

and it's not working and I get the following error

Run-time exception thrown : System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException - Could not find
a part of the path "C:\WINDOWS\system32\16.12.4.70\NOVA\ESI\SCAN.TXT".

Why is it looking under C:\WINDOWS\system32\ ???

Also I tried with a mapped drive and named it "F" and when I do

F:\NOVA\ESI\SCAN.TXT it doesn't work either !

Haroon,

Application cannot access path "\\esi" or "\\16.12.4.70" as
it clearly says in exception "The network name cannot be found."

A solution would be to check manually if you can access
these paths, or check if there is some kind of a firewall blocking
access to that path.

Zeeshan,

Thanks for the reply. I tried the following

Dim file As New System.IO.StreamReader("F:\NOVAF\ESIRPT\SCANINF1.TXT")
Error I got : System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part

of the path "F:\NOVAF\ESIRPT\SCANINF1.TXT".
