Network share SHP access

[Olivier Doucet-5]

Some javascript/style in this post has been disabled (why?)

Hi Folks,

I am new to FDO technology and trying unsuccessfully to read shapefiles located on a Windows network share.
I am using the .NET C# API with ASP.NET 2.0 (that I am discovering too), and the version 3.4 of OSGeo.SHP.

After googling a bit, it seems that it could be a permission issue though I cannot get it to work even with no permission restriction on the share.

Has anyone faced this issue already? Is it any possible to access SHP on network drives? If yes, a hint would be welcome!
Thank you.

Olivier

Are you using UNC notation for your file paths (eg. \\server\share\file.shp)? You might get better success by mapping that network share as a drive, and then use a path to that mapped drive.

Hi Jackie,

Thank you for your help!
I was indeed trying with the UNC notation and using a mapped drive solves the problem.
However I would prefer - if possible - not to use mapped drives.
Is the UNC notation just not supported by the provider or are there other conditions to meet to make it work?
