Hi, what I really want is to map the path of a file in my app root
folder from a component.

Ok, my component is in the bin dir of the web app. I want to access a
file in the app root from my cs component. I initially do it with the
hole path "c:\.....", but I want to do it with the path relative to my
cs comp, I used this path: "../something.xml" thinking that because my
cs is in the bin dir it would go back one dir and get whatever file is
in the root, but instead it goes to this path: C:\WINNT\RMAFields.xml;

You know some way to refer to the root file relative to my component

Thanks a lot!

Hi there

Server.MapPath is a memeber of the HttpServerUtility class in the
System.Web namespace.

Be careful to spell it correctly if you're using C# (case sensitive) or
if you're set Option Strict On in Vb.NET.

It will return a string of the entire physical path, e.g.

string pathToImage =3D Server.MapPath("images/trans.gif");

pathToImage would be return the following:

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\images\trans.gif

Hi, thanks a lot, the Server class is located in which namespace? And
another question: It is obligatory to give the path to the method or it
is possible that the method return the path of the current executing
aspx page?

Sorry for my English, thanks...

Hi, I used explicit path for accesing files within my web forms
application. For example I use one xml file and I locate it like this:


Fields.Load("c:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\RMAapp\\RMAapp_WebUI\\RMAFields.xml")

But of course this only works if my app is in the inetpub directory, but
if I create my application from a virtual folder this wouldn't work. I'm
sure this is very simple, but I cannot find out how can I make my path
relative to my app root wherever it is.

Thanks a lot for any help in advance.
