Hi,

what can i use insted of my.computer.filesystem.readalltext when making aspx/aspx.vb pages? I can use this, but its only working localy and not when accessing the website from internet, is there an alternativ that can be used to access the filesystem on the IIS server?

Please help!

Do you want to actually access the web server's files? What files are you looking to access? I don't see anything specific suggested. Can you provide more detail?

The project can be working and running "Localhost", no problem.
(code: My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(People, _
           FirstName.Text & "<br>", True
....................)
 Then I post website, I got error message below:

 Name 'My' is not declared in website for file system.

How to fix?
Please let me know. Thanks.

Hi, Peter,

I have a web form. It work normally on localhost. However, I post on Website, I got the error message below:

Compiler Error Message: BC30451: Name 'My' is not declared.

Source Error:

Line 9: GBdate = "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\webform\GBdate .txt"
Line 10:
Line 11: If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(GBdate) Then
Line 12: WholeList = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(GBdate)
Line 13: Response.Write(WholeList & "<br>")


Source File: D:\Webs\webform\view.aspx Line: 11

 please help. Thanks.

So just do this instead:

If FileExists(GBdate) then
...code
end if

You need to import the System.IO namespace.
