Server.Mappath in C# classlibrary

c# server.mappath

How can i use the server.mappath method in a C# class library class ,which acts as my BusinessLayer for My ASP.NET WEbsite

Solution 1:

By calling it?

var path = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("default.aspx");

Make sure you add a reference to the System.Web assembly.

Solution 2:

You can get the base path by using the following code and append your needed path with that.

string  path = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;

Solution 3:

You should reference System.Web and call:

  HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(...)

Solution 4:

Use this System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPath().

HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/file")

Wonder why nobody mentioned it here.

Solution 5:

Maybe you could abstract this as a dependency and create an IVirtualPathResolver. This way your service classes wouldn't be bound to System.Web and you could create another implementation if you wanted to reuse your logic in a different UI technology.
