Question

I have HTML files placed in an HTML folder of my project. The file name of those HTML files are stored in the field of database. I want to read the contents of each HTML file and put it in a <div> on the web page.

This is what I have done successfully with the image path:

<img width="135px" src="<%:HelperClass.CheckImageUrlExist(HelperClass.Contact.PathProductImages+Model.Item[i].PictureName)%>" alt="<%: Model.Item[i].Name %>"/>

It is no problem with the file name of image, but with the content of html file, I have no idea.

Can anyone tell me, how can I do that? Thanks.

You may use System.IO.File.ReadAllText() or StreamReader class methods to read a file from the disk.

For instance, suppose you have sample.html files under the files folder in the root web-app folder.

string path=HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/files/sample.html");
string content=System.IO.File.ReadAllText(path);
