How to relatively reference the path in c# asp.net

[Annie]

hi guys,

I have a path of eg: http://localhost/MobileShop/MobileImages but it
doesn't work if i access it removely of course.
I can do something like http://192.166.1.1/MobileShop/MobileImages ... but
it is not a better choice.

How can I reference it relatively based on the path of the application maybe
something equal to App.Path of Visual Basic.

Or any other alternative?

Hi Annie,

I'm not entirely clear what you are looking for.

Are you looking for ways to reference files in the mobile images
directory? You can use "~" as in:

<asp:Image
runat="server" ID="Image1"
ImageUrl="~/MobileImages/foo.png" />

Depends on where you're trying to reference the path.

In HTML, you'll use a server-relative path:
<img src="/MobileShop/MobileImages/myimage.gif">

For runat=server controls, you can use ~/ shorthand for
application-relative paths:
<img src="~/MobileImages/myimage.gif">

For more granular control, and for manipulating files on the server,
you have all sorts of methods in the CLR to map paths. Most useful to
you is probably Server.MapPath().


Good luck!
