Hi

I am use GroupDoc viewer in website in asp.net.Currently i heard about rotation function is enable in viewer,it very useful.

Here i explain my need.

I am create one website,in that user register and login any time,So based on userid i will create one temp folder

For E.x
if user ‘a’ login and it id is U001 and following is temp folder
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\website\UF\U001
if user ‘b’ login and it id is U002 and following is temp folder
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\website\UF\U002

Currently i am use this temp folder for store file and view using iframe(only pdf can view).GroupDoc view more than 50 format,so i try GroupDoc viewer.

What support team told me ,need to set 'SetRootStoragePath ’ in global.asax page in Application_Start method.So what happen here,all file store in same place and view to different user.But i cant delete this file once user logout.

So i try to create separate folder based on userid and i point to SetRootStoragePath to separate folder based on userid(above i mention folder).So i set SetRootStoragePath in aspx page,bcz i get user id in aspx page,so first i create that folder path

Dim viewPath As String = Server.MapPath(“.”) & “\UF”
Try
If Not Directory.Exists(viewPath) Then
Directory.CreateDirectory(viewPath)
End If
Catch ex As Exception
End Try

viewPath = viewPath & "" & Session(“userid”)
Try
If Not Directory.Exists(viewPath) Then
Directory.CreateDirectory(viewPath)
End If
Catch ex As Exception
End Try

Groupdocs.Web.UI.Viewer.SetRootStoragePath(viewPath)

So now filesave path is viewPath
like this

if user ‘a’ login
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\website\UF\U001

if user ‘b’ login
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\website\UF\U002

Finally file save in separate folder and gropdoc viewer create temp,processing,cache folder and png,js file.Once user logout i can delete folder based on userid who log out.

But what i face,one time can view ,next time cant view,it show path error.

Server Error in ‘/webFT_LoadMore’ Application.

Hello Aravind,

We are sorry to hear that you have such issue. We checked your usecase and found out that the logic is correct but at this time GroupDocs.Viewer library doesn’t support different paths for SetRootStoragePath method.

Also we have a good news for you – we will add this feature to the GroupDocs.Viewer library 2.4 version.

If you will have more questions please feel free to contact us.
