ResolveUrl in a static helper method

[Lloyd Dupont]

When I want some app resources I usually write something like:
MapPath(ResolveUrl("~/App_Data/MyResource"))

How could I do the same thing in a static helper method?
I mean MapPath & ResolveUrl are instance method of Page, so a static method
can't use them...

HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/App_Data")

seems to do the trick!!!

Server and url seem to relate but don't.
Server seems to be obtainable at all time, resolveurl is context related.

Server:
Dim p As New System.Web.UI.Page
p.server.mappath(...
p.dispose

Also see HostingEnvironment in the System.Web.Hosting namespace. At some
point you'll probably want to take a look at VirtualPathUtility from
System.Web too.
