    hi there...





    try this:





    E:\web\yourusername\htdocs\ - that is the root of your site, where 'yourusername' = the login name that you use to login to DASP control panel.





    good luck! let me know how you fare..

    I have a sports site. One function is that coaches can upload pictures for their teams.

    I want to create a new folder for each team as they register, and have each team store their pictures in that folder. If possible I would like to do this on the fly.

    To create a directory in ASP.NET on my computer, I user something like:

    Dim objDir as System.IO.Directory
    objDir.CreateDirectory("c:\mydata")

    But what path do I put the newdirectory in when it is on your servers ? For example, what is the path of my root directory ?

    Thanks ,,,,

    Try this as well,


    Dim objDir as System.IO.Directory
    objDir.CreateDirectory(server.mappath('\mydata'))

    Server.mappath returns the physical path to the website root. This will make your code more portable.
