  2. You can use Server.MapPath to get the relative path to your directory where the file exists thru a web form.
    e.g

    ' the current directory
    currDir = Server.MapPath(".")

    ' the parent directory
    parentDir = Server.MapPath("..")

    ' the application's root directory
    rootDir = Server.MapPath("/")

  3. We aren't allowed to run executables on the server.


    If you simply want to allow your friends to D/L it archive the file first, ZIP or RAR work best for this.
     
  4. i don't want my friends to download.


    i want them (useres) to download a screensaver that they choose to make, so i need to excute it to make there screen saver.


    and am excuting it just fine (or without an error even with try / catch (i don't get errors))


    anybody know a way i can get a relative path throw applactions (like ~ with web forms)?


    thanks
