what have u tried? send your code

Priyaaammu 10-Dec-12 5:42am

This i added in web.config file,
<add key="importUrl" value="C:/Import">
<add key="exportUrl" value="C:/Export">

In my pageload event,i wrote as..
string import_dir = "",importurl = "", exporturl = "", export_dir = "";
import_dir = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["importurl"].ToString();
export_dir = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["exporturl"].ToString();
string downloadURL = "http://localhost";
var path = Server.MapPath(export_dir);

what are u passing in import_dir and export_dir ?

Priyaaammu 10-Dec-12 5:46am

I gave importurl="C:/Import",exporturl="C:/Export" in config file

the error occurs because you are passing the wrong path.
server.mappath() receuived a url and returns a path. so it should be
importurl="/Import",exporturl="/Export"
now try.
if u want to store on c: then do not use server.mappath()
directly use c:\import and c:\export in your code
