Hello everyone,

I made a website in which administrator has each and every privileges i.e. for deleting user etc. and he has also the privileges for deleting pages(.aspx) at run time.

Now what i need is , i need to list all pages name in gridview if one of the pages is selected by admin and he says delete then that page should be permanently removed from the website.

How do i implement that listing all pages part and deletion part of the page...

Please help me out...

Thanks & Regards,

Are you sure you want to permanently delete the files? Disabling them seems like a better solution.

The admin probably already has FTP access which he can use to delete files, as well as chmod 400 or whatever the Windows equivalent is so they can't be accessed over the Internet.

To list them:

string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.aspx");

You can then display them in your prefered way.
To delete them:

File.Delete(files[0]);

Will delete the first file in the list.

You need to take care of security stuff here, your application will run on client machines under asp.net machine account, on servers w3wp.exe worker process, just check on the server whether this account has sufficient previleges to delete the files, check the ACLs on the file system of the server. add necessary rights to the folder.

if your network doesn't allow you to have your worker process to delete the files, you need to ask a previleged account for the folder you are trying to have the delete functionality, once you have the account, then have a web.config file in the folder to impersenate the request using that account and have the delete operation working.
