Web root directory

[xxxx]

Hi all,


i'm trying to write a piece of code using c# that will return the
physical location of the web root directory.

Actually, i was able to retrieve the list of available virtual
directories on my localhost using System.DirectoryServices but all the
paths i get are vurtual ones, but i want their actual or physical
location, so i thought of getting the web root folder and then mapping
the virtual path of all other folders to it

i'm using c#, VS2003 and IIS 6.0

any ideas

thanx for ur quick reply

I think that this does what you want:

string strPath = this.Request.MapPath( "/" );

Does it?
