Parent web physical path
I have a setup with two web applications, call them parent and child where
child is web application held virtual underneath parent though not physically. What I'd like to be able to do is write into parent/App_Data from the child app, but apart from hard-coding the actual directory into the parent's web.config I can't determine the location within child; if I evaluate "~/App_Data" from child then of course it's relative to the child's physical location. Does anyone know a nicer way of finding this out? -- Paul Paul Hatcher |

Re: Parent web physical path
A web application can't go higher than the root application folder. Try
making another virtual directory under the child application root and map it to the same physical directory as parent/App_Data. -- Eliyahu Goldin, Software Developer Microsoft MVP [ASP.NET] http://msmvps.com/blogs/egoldin http://usableasp.net "Paul Hatcher" <> wrote in message news:3A248166-4FB4-4190-8081-... >I have a setup with two web applications, call them parent and child where > child is web application held virtual underneath parent though not > physically. > > What I'd like to be able to do is write into parent/App_Data from the > child > app, but apart from hard-coding the actual directory into the parent's > web.config I can't determine the location within child; if I evaluate > "~/App_Data" from child then of course it's relative to the child's > physical > location. > > Does anyone know a nicer way of finding this out? > > -- > Paul Eliyahu Goldin |

Re: Parent web physical path
The child is an admin app and there are actually around 20 parents apps so I
was trying to avoid doing anything at the child, but with a bit of work I should be able to do it... P1/App_Data -> child/App_Data/P1 P2/App_Data -> child/App_Data/P2 etc... and in the parent web config I set the SiteName to so it knows which sub directory to operate against. -- Paul "Eliyahu Goldin" wrote: > A web application can't go higher than the root application folder.
