Question

I am trying to download a file stored in a folder.

 string path = "D:\\app_data\\Clients\\Client " + jobdescription.ClientID + "\\Job " + jobdescription.JobDescriptionID + "\\";
 string file = Path.Combine(path, jobdescription.JobTitle + ".docx");
 return File(path, "application/docx", jobdescription.JobTitle + ".docx");

The error generated is:

Server Error in '/' Application.
Could not find a part of the path 'D:\app_data\Clients\Client 1\Job 2\'

But the file with specified filename is in the folder. What am i doing wrong ?

Answer 1

You use path instead of using file, in your third line.

It should read:

return File(file, "application/docx", jobdescription.JobTitle + ".docx");
