Open PDF in browser from Shared Folder using VB.Net in ASP.Net

Hi maideen,

ResolveUrl creates the URL relative to the root.

It will not change a shared network path.

You can directly pass the shared network path as url.

Check with below code.

Dim embed As String = "<object data=""{0}"" type=""application/pdf"" width=""100%"" height=""800px"">"
embed += "If you are unable to view file, you can download from <a href = ""{0}"">here</a>"
embed += " or download <a target = ""_blank"" href = ""http://get.adobe.com/reader/"">Adobe PDF Reader</a> to view the file."
embed += "</object>"
Dim filePath As String = IO.Path.Combine("\\Sils-home\j-disk-3\pdf\", Me.txtFilePath.Text)
Dim myFile As IO.FileInfo = New IO.FileInfo(filePath)
If myFile.Exists Then
    ltEmbed.Text = String.Format(embed, filePath)
End If

Try the code and let me know what the alert message you are getting.

Dim embed As String = "<object data=""{0}"" type=""application/pdf"" width=""100%"" height=""800px"">"
embed += "If you are unable to view file, you can download from <a href = ""{0}"">here</a>"
embed += " or download <a target = ""_blank"" href = ""http://get.adobe.com/reader/"">Adobe PDF Reader</a> to view the file."
embed += "</object>"
Dim filePath As String = IO.Path.Combine("\\Sils-home\j-disk-3\pdf\", Me.txtFilePath.Text)
Dim myFile As IO.FileInfo = New IO.FileInfo(filePath)
If myFile.Exists Then
    ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Me.GetType(), "", "alert('Exist')", True)
Else
    ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Me.GetType(), "", "alert('Not Exist')", True)
End If

Mr.Dharmendr

Based on your advice, I have got message "Not Exist"

Pls advice me

File is not accessible. So the else part executed.

So refer below link.
