Hi People !
I have a question about accessing the path of virtual directory at IIS in which our site is hosted.
I created new site on IIS and then referenced published site into it as a virtual directory.
i.e. siteName = MySite & Virtual Directory = MySiteVD

now when i code

C#

Server.MapPath(".")

it returns to me the path till MySite whereas i need complete path upto MySiteVD

is there any way to get complete path (including virtual directory as well)?

Server.MapPath(".") returns the current physical directory of the file (e.g. aspx) being executed
Server.MapPath("..") returns the parent directory
Server.MapPath("~") returns the physical path to the root of the application
Server.MapPath("/") returns the physical path to the root of the domain name (is not necessarily the same as the root of the application)
