Subject: Re: [dba-VB] serving up a directory as a web page... A simple, no development cost way of doing this would be to use Google Docs or the MS equivalent. I am not sure the current version of IIS will allow you to get a directory listing the way you used to be able to do with the url of the directory. Shouldn't be to hard to build an asp.net page that reads the directory and gives you the url of each file to download. -----Original Message----- From: dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Francisco Tapia Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2010 7:45 AM To: Discussion concerning Visual Basic and related programming issues. Subject: [dba-VB] serving up a directory as a web page... so with all these news on iPad, our team ended up getting one, but to make it really useful, we are being asked on how can we make it search our network drives so that content is served up on it easily, currently our manager who has been testing it sends the files he wants to it via email and then just opens them this way during his meeting, however if he forgets one, he sends us an email so that we can send it his way. My question, since this thing will open up pdf's served up from the web, and convert docs to pages files on the fly, why not have it really be useful and setup some sort of web interface to 2 or 3 of our folders and just serve them up so the boss can surf these directories and read them as he needs. but of course how would you approach this? with iis/.net or apache and php? thanks, -Francisco http://sqlthis.blogspot.com | Tsql and More... _______________________________________________ dba-VB mailing list dba-VB at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-vb http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-VB mailing list dba-VB at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-vb http://www.databaseadvisors.com
