FSO in ASP.NET 2.0

kwilliams · October 30th, 2006, 12:47 PM

I used FSO in ASP without any problems, and I'm wondering if you can use FSO in the same way in ASP.NET (2.0). This is the method that I've been using in ASP:

Code:

Dim strPhotoPath = Trim(rsPhoto("DC_FileName").Value.ToString)
Dim objFSO As Object = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim strPhotoFilePath As String = "\\SERVER1\Photo\" & strPhotoPath
Dim strPhotoDestination As String = "e:\wwwroot\SERVER2\temp\"
If objFSO.FileExists(strPhotoFilePath) Then
     'Copy file to its destination
     Dim objFileCopy As Object = objFSO.GetFile(strPhotoFilePath)
     objFileCopy.Copy(strPhotoDestination)
     objFileCopy = nothing
End If

Thanks for any help.

Hi kwilliams,

While it should be possible to wrap the FSO library (Microsoft.Scripting Runtime) in a COM wrapper so you can use it in .NET, there are much better ways to work with files. Take a look at the System.IO namespace. It has useful classes like Directory, File and Path that allow you to perform copy, move, delete, create and many other files based actions.

Hope this helps,
