I have a page where I need to display an image which is stored on the server. To find that image, I use the following code:
if (System.IO.File.Exists(Server.MapPath(filepath)))
When I use this, I get a proper result as the file is present.
But when I give an absolute path like below:
if (System.IO.File.Exists("http://myserever.address/filepath"))
It returns false.
The file is physically present there, but I don’t know why it’s not found.
The path parameter for the System.IO.File.Exists is the path to an actual file in the file system.
The call to Server.MapPath() changes the URI into an actual file path.
So it is working as intended.
