I have a weird problem. I have a file called "Weird.aspx". It uses asp:repeater. It worked when I put it
in "c:\webroot\admin\Weird.aspx". But when I put that file in "c:\webroot\Weird.aspx" it wont work, it's error said
"System.Web.HttpException: Cannot use a leading .. to exit above the top directory." 
The error is in Bind() line. Can someone tell me what wrong? Thank you very much. 
Here is the syntax: 
<script language="vb" runat="server"> 
'BLA BLA BLA (CONNECTION, ETC) 
Dim myAdapter As New SqlDataAdapter("SpVGallery", myConnection) 
Dim ds As New DataSet() 
myAdapter.Fill(ds, 1('###START RECORD), 10('##PAGE SIZE), "GalleryFoto") 
MyRepeater.DataSource = ds.Tables("GalleryFoto").DefaultView 
'##### ERROR IN THIS LINE, BUT IT WORKED IF I PUT IN FOLDER, NOT 
'##### NOT IN ROOT FOLDER 
MyRepeater.DataBind() 
'##### 
</script> 
<form runat="server"> 
<asp:repeater> 
'BLA BLA BLA (ITEM TEMPLATE, ETC) 
</asp:repeater> 
</form> 

Could the error be caused by the part you replaced with 'BLA BLA BLA 
(CONNECTION, ETC) "??

It may be so that the connection string tries to open a database based on a 
relative path.....

The problem may also be related to a custom 404 handler. Check your config 
file for that and check out:

do you have something in your itemtemplate that points to a directory 
that exits the top directory?
(check for .. in your itemtemplate)
