How to get physical path of file? MapPath() - Scheduler - Thread

[Sakharam]

Hi All,

I am developing a scheduler object for my web application. I am starting new
thread on Application_Start event.
Everything works fine except following issue.
I am using following statement in it to get physical path of file.

strTemplateFile =
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("myFile.txt")

But, Since thread is not running against any request, I can't get
HttpContent.Current object and it throws NullReference Exception.
When I start scheduler from web page it works fine.

Can anyone guide me how to achieve this when code runs on Application_start
event not against any request.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

Just using Server.MapPath() wont work to retrieve the server file?

What does it return?

Hi Curt,

Thanks for reply.

Since this is simple class, I cannot use simply "Server.MapPath".
Note that this class function gets called from "Application_Start" event in
seperate thread.

Thanks and Regards,
