Examples
The following example uses the TemplateSourceDirectory property twice. The first time it is used in a Control.MapPathSecure method call to obtain the path to the directory in which the control resides. The second time it is in a Directory.GetFiles method call to obtain the list of all the files contained within that directory.
// An HttpException occurs if the server control does not,;
// have permissions to read the resulting mapped file.
output.Write("The Actual Path of the virtual directory : "+
MapPathSecure(TemplateSourceDirectory)+"<br>");
// Get all the files from the absolute path of 'MyControl';
// using TemplateSourceDirectory which gives the virtual Directory.
string [] myFiles=
Directory.GetFiles(MapPathSecure(TemplateSourceDirectory));
output.Write("The files in this Directory are <br>");
// List all the files.
for (int i=0;i<myFiles.Length;i++)
output.Write(myFiles[i]+"<br>");
' An HttpException occurs if the server control does not,;
' have permissions to read the resulting mapped file.
output.Write("The Actual Path of the virtual directory : " & _
MapPathSecure(TemplateSourceDirectory) & "<br>")
' Get all the files from the absolute path of 'MyControl';
' using TemplateSourceDirectory which gives the virtual Directory.
Dim myFiles As String() = Directory.GetFiles(MapPathSecure(TemplateSourceDirectory))
output.Write("The files in this Directory are <br>")
' List all the files.
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To myFiles.Length - 1
output.Write(myFiles(i) & "<br>")
Next i
Remarks
The TemplateSourceDirectory property specifies the path to the page or user control that contains the current control. For example, if the Web page resides at http://www.contoso.com/application/subdirectory
, the TemplateSourceDirectory property returns "application/subdirectory".
To return the application-relative virtual path ("~/subdirectory"), use the AppRelativeTemplateSourceDirectory property.
