Hi 

A have a function that shall create a new UnifiedDirectory and then save file in it but a only get

System.NullReferenceException: Objektreferensen har inte angetts till en instans av ett objekt

when directory bellow is equal with null or do not exist.

Have found some links like

http://blog.fredrikhaglund.se/blog/2007/12/05/episerver-using-the-new-unified-file-system/

That did help a lot but this last part will not work hmmmm...

UnifiedDirectory directory = HostingEnvironment.VirtualPathProvider.GetDirectory(path) as UnifiedDirectory;

if (directory != null)

file2 = directory.CreateFile(VirtualPathUtility.GetFileName(this.m_targetPath));

else //this do not work

UnifiedDirectory ud = UnifiedDirectory.CreateDirectory(path);

file2 = ud.CreateFile(VirtualPathUtility.GetFileName(this.m_targetPath));

Hi Per.

I usally use this approach:

public static void SaveFile(string newpath, byte[] bytes)
{

UnifiedDirectory dir;

string virtualDir = VirtualPathUtility.GetDirectory(newpath);
string virtualFile = VirtualPathUtility.GetFileName(newpath);

if (HostingEnvironment.VirtualPathProvider.DirectoryExists(virtualDir))
dir = VirtualPathHandler.Instance.GetDirectory(virtualDir, true) as UnifiedDirectory;

else
dir = UnifiedDirectory.CreateDirectory(virtualDir);

if (dir != null)
{
dir.BypassAccessCheck = true;
UnifiedFile newFile = dir.CreateFile(virtualFile);
Stream newImage = newFile.Open(FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
newImage.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
newImage.Close();
}
}

newpath is the path to the new file, while bytes is the an bytearray of the file to save.

Hope this helps!

BR, Tore
