Dear Friends,

C#

File.WriteAllText(ev.FullPath, File.ReadAllText(ev.FullPath, Encoding.Default), Encoding.UTF8);

This function works fine in my local machine but when i put the application in the server it reads the file but writing an empty string.

what could be the issue.

Any chance that File.WriteAllText might return an error message.

It is likely a permissions issue.

The chances are that the ReadAllText is failing, rather than the WriteAllText. Check the file path to make sure the file exists, and that the user the server process is logged in as has read access to the folder containing the file.

Dear,

The user has read and write permission on the folder, because my concept is listening to the folder and whenever xml file came in, it will parse the file and put it in the database.

It works but it has some arabic characters and it displays "?" mark instead of arabic characters, so I will have to change the encoding type to UTF 8, thats why I try reading the file and write it back with UTF 8.

And then the file will be sent for parsing. Without this line the file reading and parsing works fine, so there is no permission issue involved, I guess the problem in "Encoding.Default" statement, Expecting your valuable suggestions.

Thanking you
