directory listing

[Jesse.Aufiero]

Hello,

I'd like my asp.net page to display a list of hyperlinks representing
the
files contained in a specific directory. The contents of this
directory
will change, but the directory does not contain any subfolders, only
pdf
files. The resulting list of hyperlinks should not allow a user to
'save
link as', to download the file, but rather only allow the user to view
the
file in their browser. What is the easiest way to get such a list on
my
page?

Thanks

1. Create a directory /PDFs in your webfolder and mark it in IIS or you
deployment project as readable.
2. In your app list the directory using system.io.file / directory
namespaces
3. foreach directory read filename and path into a structure

an easy way is to create a dataset with a table (filename, date, etc...).
Adv. is you can bind that to a datagrid where you can use a link / template
column to show your link

Example:

Dim dir As New IO.DirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath("/dir"))
Dim fis As IO.FileInfo() = dir.GetFiles()
Dim fi As IO.FileInfo

For Each fi In fis
Response.Write(fi.Name)
Next fi
