ASP.NET MVC Disk Reader Website

Question

I am reading a text file containing an insert statement for SQL using C # on the MVC website I'm working on. When debugging the function that I use, it works fine and the insert occurs. But as soon as I publish the site and run it on my local computer (with IIS configured to use asp.net 4.0), it does not seem to work.

        if (Request.Files != null && Request.Files["txtImportFile"] != null)
        {
            //newFilePath = Server.MapPath("\\" + DateTime.Now.Ticks + Request.Files["txtImportFile"].FileName);
            string[] temp_string = Request.Files["txtImportFile"].FileName.Split(new char[] { '\\' });
            string temp_filename = temp_string[temp_string.Count() - 1];
            //newFilePath = Server.MapPath("\\temp\\" + DateTime.Now.Ticks + Request.Files["txtImportFile"].FileName);
            newFilePath = Server.MapPath("\\temp\\" + DateTime.Now.Ticks + temp_filename);
            Request.Files["txtImportFile"].SaveAs(newFilePath);

            StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(newFilePath);
            string contents = reader.ReadToEnd();
            reader.Close();

            Models.WingsRemoteDbLibrary dbLib = new Models.WingsRemoteDbLibrary();
            string update_message = dbLib.UpdateSlaveItemsTable(contents);

            if (System.IO.File.Exists(newFilePath))
                System.IO.File.Delete(newFilePath);

            RandomPopupView(update_message);
        }

I hope my explanations do not seem vague. I will try to answer any other questions. Thank.

Answer 1

Workaround:

Instead of using

Server.MapPath("\\temp\\"...

Create a root folder called "temp" and use

System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.MapPath("~\\temp....
