Hi experts,

I am developing a DNN Module which stores some files to a certain physical store (DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.HostMapPath).

The result is a full filename like C:\Programme\DNN\Portals\_default\\MyFolder\MyFile.txt

How can I convert this absolute file name to a link?

I have recherched in google but Server.MapPath and ResolveUrl seems not to be the correct API calls for that, because the DNN Module (UserControl) can be located in any localtion of the website (and in my understanding this functions use the current page for resolving or mapping an url or paht, aren't they?)

Many thanks in advance.

LG
George

Hi experts,

meantime I have found following solution.

I am using the Request.PhysicalApplicationPath Propery to cut the physical path to the virtual path and replace back slash to slash

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

String pathstring = "C:\\Dokumente und Einstellungen\\Georg\\Eigene Dateien\\Visual Studio 2008\\Projects\\Beispiele\\VirtualPathHelperClass\\Portal\\_default\\Backup\\Test.txt";

string physicalpath = Request.PhysicalApplicationPath;

string FilePath = "";

if (pathstring.StartsWith(physicalpath))

    FilePath = pathstring.Remove(0, physicalpath.Length-1);

FilePath = FilePath.Replace("\\","/");

 

sb.Append("<a href =\"" + FilePath + "\">Testlink</a><br>");

Response.Write(sb.ToString());

 

If you know a better one (e.g. build in function) pleas let me know!

 

Best regards

George

There are a couple of inbuilt functions that allow you to get the physical path as well as the URL link that are built into the core. I don't remember them off the top of my head but I believe they're in the common Utilities class. I don't have my code machine in front of me but I believe there is Common.Globals.HostMapPath and PortalSettings.HomeDirectoryMapPath. There should be a FileSystemsUtil class that you can also use and might have some of the stuff you're looking for...
