ASP.NET C# Relative path

[chathura86]

I'm new to ASP.NET
i'm new to asp.net

i created a class which reads a xml file
placed the class in the app_code folder and placed the xml file in another folder
both folders are in the root

now i want to give the relative path to this xml file but when the project build
the relative path is set to system32 folder

seems the compiled class is saved in the system32 folder

how can i give the relative path to xml file

when i placed the class file in another folder other than the app_code
id does not compiled into the bin folder as usual

please help me

Well, in your ASP.NET codebehind, you can get the physical path from a relative path by using Server.MapPath( "/relativePath/");

I would modify my class to take a path as a parameter of the constructor. Then pass the value of Server.MapPath( "/pathToYourFile. xml");

Thanks for the replay

i found this

HttpContext.Cur rent.Server.Map Path("~/App_Data/settings.xml")

it works well also.

may be both are the same im not sure
