Hi there,

Take a look here: http://www.spaanjaars.com/QuickDocId.aspx?QUICKDOC=263

Although the FAQ was originally written for ASP, it can also be used to solve ASP.NET security problems. Be sure to read the linked FAQ that describes how to determine your user account, under the heading "Find Out the Account that IIS Runs Under" as things are a bit different for ASP.NET.

Cheers

Hi imar it is not the same error what you had given i clearly told that it is the error i am getting from Xml file.I had gone through the doccument and it is not useful to me.Any way if you can help me with the xml file that would be great.

Thanks for your Reply.-Ashok

I think you overlooked something.

From what I can see, it *is* the same root problem but obviously with a different description. The account used by the webserver does not have the required permissions to write XMLFile1.xml in the root of your C drive. The FAQ I linked to explains how to fix this by changing security settings.

Cheers,

Imar

While typing this post, I was listening to: Lincoln's Gout by Sonic Youth (Track 10 from the album: Made In USA (soundtrack)) What's This?

Hi Imar I am sorry to reply you very late.I had done everything as you said.But the the thing is it is related with the databases and for me it is related with xml file.So the thing is not working perfectly.

I am help less to get help.

Anyway thanks for your try to solve My problem-Ashok

Hi Imar at last i had got the out put.I used proper web sharing and proper exception handling in the file So i had got It.any way i am very very thanks for you because you gave me a hint that there is a problem wih the security.Thanks very much Imar.

Bye-Ashok

Actually, the FAQ only uses a database as an example. The Microsoft Access database (a file based database) could easily be replaced with an Image, a PDF file or an XML file. The principle stays the same: the IIS account is not allowed to write to the file or the folder where that file resides.

Maybe this one would have easier for you: http://www.spaanjaars.com/QuickDocId.aspx?quickdoc=290

Anyway, glad it's working now....
