Visual Studio .NET - where the temp directory is located ?

Hi Neel ,

U will know the temp directory by using Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TEMP").

e.g.

Response.Write("The TEMP environment variable is : " & Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TEMP"))

you can cheak any directory using

Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("directory name").

Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TEMP");

It will give the temporary directory for the user which is logged into the system.

e.g. It shows directory if Administrator login as

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp

<%
Response.Write("The TEMP environment variable is : " & Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TEMP"))
%>

For .Net Framework 2.0 :
bootdrive:\%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.5 0727\Temporary ASP.NET Files

For .Net Framework 1.1 :
bootdrive:\%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4 322\Temporary ASP.NET Files

This is a real hack, but it will retrieve the Temp directory path programmatically :

In global.asax :

Sub Application_OnStart()
Dim MyArray() As String = Split(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.DynamicDirectory, "\")
Application("TEMP_DIR") = (MyArray(0).ToString() & "/" & MyArray(1).ToString() & "/" _
& MyArray(2).ToString() & "/" & MyArray(3).ToString()) & "/" & MyArray(4).ToString() & "/" _
& MyArray(5).ToString())
End Sub

The path to the machine's ASP.NET Temporary Files directory
is now contained by Application("TEMP_DIR").

Best Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sujit.

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\

or

Go to run--> enter %temp%

U'l get the temp directory opened

Copy the path.

<%
Response.Write("The TEMP environment variable is : " & Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TEMP"))
%>
