Hi All,

I made a service which deletes any folder mentioned in the path. my web service is published on my IIS server.

I have another web page which referring this web service by calling a method in it with the folder path.

I am getting an error as

Quote:

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.IO.IOException: Access to the path 'E:\ws4test\foldertodelete\New Folder' is denied.
at System.IO.Directory.DeleteHelper(String fullPath, String userPath, Boolean recursive)
at System.IO.Directory.Delete(String fullPath, String userPath, Boolean recursive)

my web method is as follows:

[WebMethod(Description = "automatically delete the folder mentioned in the path")]
    public string deletefoldermethod(string folderpath)
    {
        DirectoryInfo targetfolder = new DirectoryInfo(folderpath);
        string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(folderpath);
        string[] dirs = Directory.GetDirectories(folderpath);

        foreach (string file in files)
        {
            File.SetAttributes(file, FileAttributes.Normal);
            File.Delete(file);
        }

        foreach (string dir in dirs) 
        {
            Directory.Delete(dir,true);
        }
        string msg = "Folder is successfully deleted";
        return msg;
    }

and the web page code to call this is..

localhost.deletefolder obj = new localhost.deletefolder();
       string path = @"E:\ws4test\foldertodelete\";
       string msg = obj.deletefoldermethod(path);
       lblmsg.Text = msg;

Am I missing something???
