Hyperlink to a local file.

Posted By: Posted Date: October 02, 2010 Points: 0 Category :ASP.Net

There is a hyperlink to a local file...for instance....C:/text.txt. This is not possible, because ASP.net does not allow links to local files. But, links to files on network drives such as W:/test.txt are working ok.

My question is... how does the browser know which drive letter is local, and which is networked? How does it know that C: is local or D: is local etc, and that W: is a network drive?

hyperlink to a local file

Hi guys,

I tried to create a hyperlink in c# web application. This hypelink is linking to a file in my computer. When I click on the hypelink, it should open a new window with the file. Here is my code:

<asp: hyperlink id="hyperlink1" runat="server" target="_blank" NavigateUrl="file:///d:\checklist.doc">Check List</asp:hyperlink>

But the new window never show up. If I change the link to http site or network file, it works fine. I developed this code in Visual Studio 2003. I wrote a html file with html hyperlink to this local file, it works fine:

But if I add this code in apsx file, the html hyperlink is not working too.

I did search on internet without luck. I need to fix it in a short time. I really appreciate any comment.

Thank you,

David

Trying to launch a .exe file on my local computer from intranet site.

I have been told I can launch a local program on my PC from my intranet site but it has to be done with Active X or vbscript and not javascript. I found the following little sample html code that will launch notepad. However, I cannot figure out how to put this in a button, etc., within my aspx or code behind to execute it. Does anybody have any idea how to do this? I have a lot of javascript code I am launching urls with and I have even tried using that but again, I have been told that to do it client side it needs to be vbscript or something like this. Any ideas?

  <head>
  <title>Web page that runs EXE files</title>

  <h1>Web page that runs EXE files</h1>

  to run notepad.exe (Windows XP, ME, 98, 95)</p>
  <p>Click <a href="file:///C:/winnt/notepad.exe" class="navbar">here</a>

How to Download a file with a hyperlink

I have been all over the net reading samples to this, they are not for ASP 2.0 or the example code given does not work. So could someone PLEASE put this simple thing in black and white?

Example of hyperlink to use on links.aspx 2. Code to use on downloading.aspx (assume to use the octet thing that supports all types of files) and does the code go in downloading.aspx or downloading.aspx.vb thanks, Brad Zynda

uploading a file with wcf works fine with local drive, but only 4096 kb uploaded when I use unc stor

Hello I'm writing a wcf service for uploading files to a server. It works fine when I try to upload the file to the servers local c:/ drive, but if I use a UNC path only 4096 kb is stored. It actually looks like part of the file is lost while storing it with writeStream.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);, because I wrote the bytesread to an sql table and the number of elements are always the same no matter how many times I upload the file, but the stored file is always different sizes, ranging from 1996 kb to 4092 kb. I'm using IIS 7.5 on a windows 7 enterprise machine. My IIS is using a administrator account for the application pool, so it should not be a problem with permissions. My wcf method uses Stream to upload the file in chunks public void UploadFile(RemoteFileInfo request) { //some methods to set the filepath int chunkSize = 4096; byte[] buffer = new byte[chunkSize]; Stream writeStream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.CreateNew, FileAccess.Write); &

Downloading a document from a sharepoint site to local file system, copy web service returns null

Hi Guys,
I am trying to get this done for the last 2 days and I am still banging my head to the wall.
All I need to do is to download files from my sharepoint site library that uses integrated windows authentication. I was using copy webservice : getItem method to accomplish this.

CopyService.GetItem(copySource, out myFieldInfoArray, out myByteArray);

Problem : myByteArray is always returned as NULL

Note: I have tried the same with another site that uses forms authentication but the result was the same (NULL !!)

This is my code:

CopyService.

Copy copy = new CopyService.Copy();

How to open XML file from ASP Hyperlink control

How can I open a XML file from the location mentioned in the web.config file using Hyperlink control?

I have an aspx page with hyperlink control and in code behind I do the following:

hypLink.Text = "Transformed XML";
hypLink.NavigateUrl = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["OutputXML"];

Web.config file looks like:

<add key="OutputXML" value="C:\Working\MyTest\XMLTransform\App_Data\Transformed.xml"/>

This code is not working. In IE, it doesn't do anything but in FF, it throws a error box with message that the "FF doesn't know how to open this address..."
