I have this problem:
I have a web application that was working ok on accessing shared folder in same server application, but outside of application folder.
The route of shared folder is stored in a table (SQL Server 2008 R2), this is query using sqlcommand and datareader, including credentials to access the shared folder.
Suddenly that part of application stop working, the problem I found is that the path of shared folder appears without the char '\', something like this \IP_SERVERsharedfolder
altough in database it is stored as \\IP_SERVER\sharedfolder
, if the query is executed on sql server managment, it displays the whole path.
Do you have experienced a similar problem.
I appreciate your help.
The problem here is not how to access the shared folder, that means, the problem is when the path is gotten from database where it is stored, I use a data reader object to get from database:
If dtrReader.HasRows Then
fldPath = dtrReader(3).ToString
username = dtrReader(4).ToString
password = dtrReader(5).ToString
End If
in variable fldPath
, I got \IP_SERVERsharedfolder
instead \\IP_SERVER\sharedfolder
, char \
is removed.
