Question

I have the following code that works fine on my localhost using IIS7 but when i upload it to my server it is behaving not the same as it did on my localhost
For example the submit button when clicked should check validation which it does on my localhost and then redirects to a URL if the validation is correct

But when the same is tried on the actual server over here
The not working link

the problem started when i introduced a redirect url (in C# code is Response.Redirect(“http://www.google.com”);) in to the c# code…if there is a better way to do this all this hassle wont be necessary..tks

this is the code that i used

<%@ Page Language="C#" Debug="true" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Xml" %>

<script runat="server">


protected void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    txtAddress.Text = "";
    string xmlPath = MapPath("Books.xml");
    XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
    //Check if the file already exists or not
    if (System.IO.File.Exists(xmlPath))
    {
        doc.Load(xmlPath);
        XmlNode bookNode = CreateBookNode(doc);
        //Get reference to the book node and append the book node to it
        XmlNode bookStoreNode = doc.SelectSingleNode("bookstore");
        bookStoreNode.AppendChild(bookNode);

Try using Server.MapPath as describes in ASP.NET Web Project Paths or try using Page.ResolveUrl
