Windows 8. Visual Studio for web 2013. Trying to make a web page that stores a small amount of data in a text file. StreamReader can never find the file. Exception says:
Could not find file 'C:\Users\Tom\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\WebSites\WebSite2\FeatureList.txt'.
Sounds to me like the file isn't there, but if I paste that path into windows explorer, notepad launches and shows me the contents of the file. I've found a number of ways not to find this file:
StreamReader sr = File.OpenText(Server.MapPath("~") + @"data\FeatureList.txt");
//StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~"), @"data/FeatureList.txt"));
//string path = (string.Format("{0}", AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory,@"\data\FeatureList.txt"));
//StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(path);
//StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(Server.MapPath("~data/FeatureList.txt"));
String FileText = sr.ReadToEnd().ToString();
sr.Close();
Perhaps it's a permission error? If I look at the permissions for the data folder, I see 3 users, SYSTEM, me and Administrator, and not the Default App Pool or IIS users mentioned in "Deploying an ASP.NET website" article I found at asp.net.
I wrote a similar web page a couple years ago that reads but doesn't write and it runs to this day at godaddy.
