Tricks with Server.MapPath

The Server.MapPath method can be used to retrieve several interesting properties about the running ASP.NET application, for example:

' the current directory
currDir = Server.MapPath(".")

' the parent directory
parentDir = Server.MapPath("..")

' the application's root directory
rootDir = Server.MapPath("/")

For example, you can store the application's root directory in an Application variable, and use it to dynamically build physical paths to other files and directories.

Happy Coding..!!
