Equivalent AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory

[Guest]

Hi,

What's the equivalent for AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory in asp.net?
Trying to access web app directory for reading and writing xml files.

Thanks,

JJ

Have you looked at Server.MapPath?

string s = Server.MapPath( "default.aspx" );

s, on my machine, is "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\tempasp\default.aspx"

Hi JJ,

If you're looking for the path of the Web app's directory, you could get it
like this:

Label1.Text = Server.MapPath("")

Is that what you meant?

Ok Im running this on my Dev machine which gives me a false path. I am
debugging so what happens is when I use Server.MapPath it shows me
"C:\localhost\websitename\ " which really isn't where the files are for
project.
So how can I get this to work so I can debug on dev machine?

Thanks,

JJ

Try using Request.PhysicalApplicationPath.

That should return the root directory of your application.

JJ,

Use :

Request.ServerVariables("APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH")

That will do it, allright.
So will Request.ServerVariables("APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH")
