Q: I am having trouble finding where is the best place to put the
resources file on a web server so the code can find it easily without
hardcoding a file path.
Using this example code:
// Search for PDFNet resource file (i.e. 'pdfnet.res').
string resource_path = "resources";
bool found = false;
for (int i = 0; !found && i < 7; ++i) {
found = PDFNet.SetResourcesPath(resource_path);
if (!found) resource_path = "../" + resource_path;
}
Where should I place the resources file? Putting it in the bin of the
web site doesn't find it.

A: You could use a more dynamic approach as described in the following
FAQ: http://www.pdftron.com/net/faq.html#pdfnet_res
PDFNet.SetResourcesPath( Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath,
"MyResources"));
or as follows:
PDFNet.SetResourcesPath( Path.GetDirectoryName( Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location));
There are probably many other options.
