Trrrrrring, yes I guess it does ;)

I guess that the component is not aware of its "Web environment". That is, for all the component knows, it could be used in a desktop app or Pocket PC application as well.

So, the component doesn't know where MapPath comes from, probably doesn't even know what it does.

To successfully tell the component about the fact it's participating in a Web application, you can have it get a reference to the current Http Context, like this:

string myString = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("Bla .txt");

Would you mind starting a new thread for a new issue? Makes a thread a bit more on-topic....

Thanks for the response. The sample I read that used MapPath was so generic I didn't know it's usage differed by context.

Anyway, I have setup a seperate forum on the subject. Maybe you can stop by and make suggestions.

Thanks

P.S. The title of the topic is error BC30451: Name 'MapPath' is not declared.

Hi there,

I am not sure what you're talking about. Where do you get this error? How are you using the DLL? Can you describe your setup in more detail?

Cheers,

Imar

While typing this post, I was listening to: Frantic by Metallica (From the album: St.Anger) What's This?

Imar,
I am trying to compile my vb.net project from command line using vbc.exe
I have some crystal reports in my project
I am able to compile the project, but the crystal reports give the following error
"Unable to find the report in the manifest resources. Please build the project, and try again. "
I researched a little bit and found out I need to embed these reports in the assembly using the /resource switch in the vbc.exe.
But the resource file needs to be of .res extension.
The only files corresponding to the reports are the .rpt and .vb file created along with it
I included both of them in the reseource switch.But I get the same error.How do I embed the reports in the assembly?
Thanks
Jagruthi

Hi Jagruthi,

Thanks for your personal message. I answer here if you don't mind.

I think you need to embed your resources using the /res option and then use the fully qualified namespace for the embedded resources. Here's something that worked for me to embed a .bmp file:

/res:ToolboxImages\ContentEditor.bmp,Spaanjaars.Too lkit.ContentEditor.bmp

The first instance of .bmp is the file name, the other the namespace.

Then check out this FAQ to see where and how your resources ended up:

Did you also include the associated .vb or .cs files required by the report?

If all else fails, you *could* deploy the .rpt files and then use Server.MapPath to just load them.

Cheers,

Imar
