How can I get my /directory/ name?

[bencoding]

Hello, I am building a "Web App" in "Visual Web Developer 2005" and need to be able to read my directory, for example http://mywebapp.com/dirname/Default.aspx

So how would I be able to read the current directory name which in this case is "dirname"

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "read my directory."

If you want to get the physical address of a relative path, you can use Server.MapPath( "relPath")

If you need to read all the files in the directory or something like that, you can use the System.IO.Direc toryInfo object to do many things like that.

Ok, I can probably clarify that, ....I would like to get the directory or folder name so that I can use it in my code, for example if the directory name is /projects/Default.aspx

I would write some code like

if (directory name = 'projects')
{
// do something here
}

So I would like to be able to get the directory name to use in my code, and for testing purposes I am using Response.Write( ); to see if it works. I appreciate that code you gave me but is showing me too much data, I would just like the directory name.

Have you tried:
Server.MapPath( ".") ?

I just tried Server.MapPath( ".") and it's closer to what I need, it gives me

C:\Program Files\CCM\Proje cts

... I would need to extract "Projects" some how, if this is the closest I can get could I use a string function to strip everything out up to the 3rd "\" ?

Use the .Split(delimite r) method.

//c# code, I don't know what language you use.
string path = Server.MapPath(".");
char[] delim = { '\\' };
string[] tokens = path.Split(delim);
string folder = tokens[tokens.Length-1];
//now folder has "Projects"
