Unable to access through server.Mappath

Hi

I am using the code in vb.net

I have used

imports system.web

but I can't see the class HttpContext in my code

Try System.Web.HttpContext.Current

> I have used
> imports system.web
> but I can't see the class HttpContext in my code

In that case, you are probably missing the reference. Right click your project, select "Add reference" and select System.Web from the list on the .NET tab.

Hi

When you write

System.Web.


then you will get three options

1. AspNetHostingPermission
2. AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute
3. AspNetHostingPermissionLevel

There is no
HttpContext Class

Actually, there is. Check your references as explained above. See the screenshot. Perhaps your local browser (class browser) has it wrong. You cannot always trust the intellisense.

These classes are around since asp.net 2.0. If you add the reference to a non-asp.net project, you can still access them. Try typing them in as some experts have shown you and try to compile.

You do not need to add System.Web in front, if the "Imports System.Web" is in place on top of your class, you can use it without.

PS: when you check the references, you can also check if the correct dll is installed here: %SystemRoot%\Microsoft.net\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.Web.dll

Hi

I have imported system.web

then I used this code

HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("file_path")

but I am getting an error.

Name 'HttpContext' is not declared.

I'm afraid you have a corrupted or incomplete framework install. You can check the location I mentioned for the existence of the file. But if this is correct, you are not using framework 2.0 and/or you cannot create any asp.net application or web site. Is that correct? Can you check the directory I mentioned?

Also, can you check under Properties of your current project what the framework is that it points to?

> Name 'HttpContext' is not declared.

another thing: sometimes an error originates elsewhere. Can you remove these statements and remove the System.Web reference, do a Clean and then a Rebuild All. If that is error free, try again adding the System.Web, do a new Rebuild All. Now add the "Imports System.Web" and the statement (make sure to assign it to something, like this):

Dim xxx As String = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("file_path")

Rebuild again. Does the error re-occur? Then check the things I mentioned in the previous post.

Hi

As I have mentioned in my first post that I am not creating a web based application. I am creating a library based project.

That is why I am getting the problem in using Server.Mappath
