Hi,

I am listing all the files from directory in a web page.
I have done it successfully.
Now I want to open the files from webpage but I am unable to do this.
My code is below:

C#

DirectoryInfo directory = new DirectoryInfo("C:/files/");
                FileSystemInfo[] files = directory.GetFiles("*.txt");
                var OrderedFiles = files.OrderByDescending(f => f.Name);
                foreach (FileSystemInfo file in OrderedFiles)
                {
                    var link = new HyperLink { };
                    link.NavigateUrl = "C:/files/" + file.Name;
                    link.Text =    file.Name    ;

                    Panel1.Controls.Add(link);

Thanks in advance

Solution 1

Weird: just had to knock something like this up yesterday:

Use an HtmlAnchor control as opposed to a HyperLink control:

link = new HtmlAnchor();
link.HRef = ResolveUrl(path + "\\" + file.Name);
link.Target = "_blank";
link.InnerText = file.Name;

where path might be like:

@"~\Reports\Documents";

Digital man said it.

But it might just be a small error. Like you should put the @ sign before your strings that have / sign or \\ sign
