best app path method

K

kpg

I have seen two ways to get the application path on the server:

Server.MapPath(Request.ApplicationPath)

which returns: "c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyWeb"

and:

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory()

which returns: "c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/MyWeb/"


Now, on my Win2000 Server either one will work fine, the
forward and back slashes seem to be interchangeable.

Is if there is an benefit (or drawback) to one or the
other? Which one is the 'recommended' way to get the
application path?

Well, if it "ain't broke, then don't fix it". Flip a coin, perhaps?
