C# MVC Visual Studio 2015

Hello,

I have a table which contains row data as links to .txt files. I want to display the data contained in the .txt file as output in c# MVC .

the table looks like below.

tablefile
\\Isilon\tablefileSCANS\inc\1\nct\2011\08\20110816134516.txt
\\Isilon\tablefileSCANS\inc\1\nct\2011\08\20110801113335.txt

\\Isilon\tablefileSCANS\inc\1\nct\2011\02\20110221143603.txt

.....

....

Please help me with this.

Hello Sonu ,

Thanks for the links. I need the application to read the .txt files dynamically. When you look at the below output.

In the above screenshot I need to read and display the .txt files randomly when the client selects different .txt files link. All the answers that I am seeing now are displaying just a particular text file that is specified in the code.

Hello Amit, thanks a lot for helping on this.

It did work but the .txt data is displayed in a small pop up wondow as below.

I want it to be displayed just below the "Get Patient Details"(below in blue) link in the screenshot below. Is it possible?

Hey Palak try to use path like this.

\\\\Network\\Isilon\\IBEXSCANS\\inc\\1\\nct\\2011\\08\\20110816134516.txt

Thank you Amit,

After adding the code I am getting error as " An exception of type 'System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException' occurred in mscorlib.dll but was not handled in user code"

Additional information: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Isilon\IBEXSCANS\inc\1\nct\2011\08\20110816134516.txt'.

My file path is in Network : "

'Network\\Isilon\\IBEXSCANS\\inc\\1\\nct\\2011\\08\\20110816134516.txt'

Here is what I added to the controller and View.

Public ActionResult details()

 { return View();

[HttpPost]

 public ContentResult ReadFile(string fPath)

 string text = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(fPath);

 return Content(text);

VIEW :

@model IEnumerable<patientmodel>

Hey try this.

Controller:

public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ContentResult ReadFile(string fPath)
{
string text = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(fPath);
return Content(text);
}

View:

@{
ViewBag.Title = "Home Page";
}
"text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js">
"text/javascript">
function showData(dataa) {
$.ajax({
url: "/Home/ReadFile",
type: "POST",
data: JSON.stringify({ 'fPath': dataa }),
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "text",
success: function (response) {
alert("Success: " + response);
},
failure: function (response) {
alert("Failure: " + response.responseText);
},
error: function (response) {
alert("Error: " + response.responseText);
}
});
}

Thank you for the replies. I think the answers are concerned with only one .txt file.

Vincent's reply is close but I do not want to browse the .txt file to be shown on my client page.

I am in a process where the user clicks the links of the path in a table column "tablefile"

which contains different .txt files in each row. So when the user clicks on one link he should get the data contained in that text file.When he clicks the next link he should contain data in that .txt file and so on...

All the .txt files are in same folder with different names.

So how can I accomplish this?

Controller:

public class HomeController : Controller
{
// GET: /Home/
public ActionResult Index()
{
string text = System.IO.File.ReadAllText("E:\\AMIT\\Study\\Code.txt");
TempData["Code"] = text;
return View();
}
}

View:

@TempData["Code"]
