Temporatry File Name

[Thom Little]

I have just finished an ASP.NET application that needs one (the last)
remaining tweak. It writes two temporary files and then appends them to an
SMTP message.

ASP 3 had a function ...
GetTempName
.... to generate unique temporary filenames. Is there an easy standard way
to generate temporary file names in ASP.NET?

Hello Thom,

There is no such a function in ASP.NET or .NET framework. I think we have
two options here:

1. Use COM interop and stick on GetTempName.
2. Use Random Class in .NET to generate random value and compose random
string.

Hope this help,

Luke

See System.IO.Path.GetTempFileName function
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...rlrfsystemiopathclassgettempfilenametopic.asp).
See an example on

The answer for me was ...

string strNameXLS = Path.ChangeExtension ( Path.GetTempFileName( ),
"xls" );
StreamWriter swXLS = File.CreateText( strNameXLS );

Thank you both for helping me with the "final tweak".
