hi to all, This is lakshmana rao.i have an error in code

using System.IO;
    FileStream fs;
    StreamWriter sw;
    StreamReader sr;

C#

fs = new FileStream("http://localhost/jtm_site/Documents/About Me.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
        sr = new StreamReader(fs);
        if (sr.Peek() > 0)
        {
            Label3.Text = sr.ReadToEnd();
        }
        fs.Flush();
        fs.Close();

The Error is "URI formats are not supported."
If i write like this

fs = new FileStream("C:\\Users\\LUCKY\\Documents\\Visual Studio 2008\\WebSites\\WebSite7\\" + s + ".txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);

it will work for me, but i want it from localhost address. can any one suggest me.

Solution 2

You could try using a virtual path and call MapPath with it

C#

fs = new FileStream(MapPath("~/Documents/About Me.txt"), FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
