Error while using Executable path

Question

Hi ,

I am getting the below error while trying to get the path.

My code is below:

C#

if (!Directory.Exists(Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath) + "\\Daily_File"))
                Directory.CreateDirectory(Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath) + "\\Daily_Files");

Error 71 'System.Web.HttpApplicationState' does not contain a definition for 'ExecutablePath' and no extension method 'ExecutablePath' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.HttpApplicationState' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Thanks in advance

Solution 1

Try Server.MapPath("~") or HttpContext.Current.Request.PhysicalApplicationPath.ToString()

Hi Prerak ,
Thank you.It works.
But do you have any idea about what is the problem with Executable path?
Thanks

You are welcome Neha.
As error says - 'System.Web.HttpApplicationState' does not contain a definition for 'ExecutablePath'
It is not there for web applications.
