Hi Friends

I am trying to show the contents of my C: drive in the form of windows explorer, I can do that on my machine coz I get the physical path c: here like

  DirectoryInfo dirs = new DirectoryInfo("C:\")

But what if I have to access a particular directory of the server where my application is deployed. e.g. D:/Project folder of the server..

Is it possible?

Regards
Mike

Thanx parsons for the doc, but I guess it explains all that we know, general methods, server.mapath, ApplicationPath etc. What I was interested was to access the folders and files of say D: Drive or E: drive of the machine where my application is deployed, not the folder or root where my application is deployed. Hope you can understand my issue.

Yes you can do this, although it is going to require that the asp.net account has the necessary permissions to those drives/folders/files.

For example I can do:
DirectoryInfo dirs = new DirectoryInfo("C:\\");
Response.Write(Convert.ToString(dirs.LastAccessTim e));

Which will return me the last access time of my C Drive from a web application.

hth.
