Server.MapPath() issue

Neha Ojha

Hello All,

I have a very basic question. I was trying to export my CR file to PDF for that i used

string repFilePath = Server.MapPath("RadTechPublicReport.rpt");

It gave me an error say the path was not correct.

So i looked around and found that the it was missing a folder so then I replace the above code with

string repFilePath = Server.MapPath(@"Reports\RadTechPublicReport.rpt");

Now my question is why did MapPath not recognize Reports

Please if any one can answer this question.

Yes..
You need to specify a sub folder's name because server.mappath searches for the root's element and it will be more specific when you provide subdirectory for sub-directory-wise searching of the File existence

Hi,
Think Server.MapPath is a short cut up to your web root folder. Beyond if any hierarchy is there, you need to fill.
