How do I make this C# code work in ASP.NET?

aowen355 · July 19th, 2005, 10:11 AM

Basically what I want to do is have a button on ASP.NET page with this C# code behind it:

Code:

     
FileStream outputFile = new FileStream("outp.txt",FileMode.OpenOrCreate);
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(outputFile);
sw.Write("hey there");
sw.Close();

In C# this code writes the text to a file, but when I put this code in ASP.NET (using C#) it does not work. I must be missing a step, can someone help?

You need to provide an explicit file path for the output file. Start with the Server.MapPath() method and work from there.
