Directory.CreateDirectory

[spoiledkid]

I am using this function to try and create a directory in my Web project folder .. using ASP.NET ..

System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(server.mappath("\test")) ..

No matter what path I give it always says "Access Denied to the path .." blah blah blah ..

What am I missing ??

Use a PHYSICAL Path instead of a Virtual Path.

Use:

system.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(Request.PhysicalApplicationPath & "\test")

The account that ASP.net is running under doesn't have "Create folders / append data" privileges to the parent folder (e.g. c:\ASP.Net, where you wish to create c:\ASP.Net\test). I suggest you investigate the minimum requirements (e.g. "Read" and "Write") and apply them to the ASP.net user (by default MACHINENAME/ASPNET

How do you apply those permissions to ASPNET user ??
