Question

Hi all i am uploading the files uploaded by the user in this path

       string savefilename = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/Content/UploadedFiles/"),
                                Path.GetFileName());

And i am saving the Url in the Database in the Url Column in this

        ~/Content/UploadedFiles/BugTrackerDataBase.xlsx

and i am trying to retrieve the file Uploaded by the user by a link in my grid view
my retrieve method looks like this

       public ActionResult ViewAttachments(string AttachmentName)
           {
          try
           {
            AttachmentName = Session["AttachmentUrl"].ToString();
            var fs = System.IO.File.OpenRead(Server.MapPath("'" + AttachmentName + "'"));
            return File(fs, "application/doc", AttachmentName);
        }
        catch
        {
            throw new HttpException(404, "Couldn't find " + AttachmentName);
        }
    } 

and i have the Excepiton

      "Could not find a part of the path 'D:\AnilWork\BugTracker\BugTracker\ViewBug\'UploadedFiles\BugTrackerDataBase.xlsx''."

can any one tell me where am i doing wrong or the write procedure to do this

Answer 1

try

var fs = System.IO.File.OpenRead(Server.MapPath(" + AttachmentName + "));

instead of

var fs = System.IO.File.OpenRead(Server.MapPath("'" + AttachmentName + "'"));

it shoud be replaced with (Server.MapPath(“”+ AttachmentName + “”))
