Probably because there is no current http context. You'll need to running a
web-application or the like as far as I know - not just a console app.

Strange? Why would it be strange for there not to be any current HttpContext
in a desktop application? Web Application, yes, but not strange in a desktop
app.

but i have no other option other than building the windows application
how can i refer to the server from my windows application
 
iis is on the same machine.
isn't there other way to retrieve the physical path of a logical path
returned from the directoryServieces objects
