In ASP.NET MVC 2, how can I get the absolute path to the Content folder from within a model?I'm trying to check for the existence of a file by calling IO.File.Exists. So, I need to convert the "~ContentisFile.png" relative path to an absolute path.I tried getting the application's directory path by calling My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath but that returned some temporary folder that doesn't contain the Content folder.
View 2 RepliesI have an user control that reads the data from app_data folder and does some processing.In design time I'd like to show the row data in control placeholder (using GetDesignTimeHtml).To do that I need to figure out the absolute path to app_data folder on my project.The HttpContext is not available and HostingEnvironment.MapPath returns null.

I have a file named dummyIcon.png inside Content/images/temp folder. How do I locate it from my domain layer (which is a Code Library project)? What is the best practice of displaying images in ASP.NET MVC? Should I store a path to the image in the database (which I personally prefer), or do I save a byte array and return it to the view?
When I write following code in my view
<% Url.Action("Logon") %>
the mvc framework generates
/Account/Logon ({controller}/{action})
as path.
'/Account/Logon' path is an absolute path. Is there a way to change is to a relative path, like Account/Logon or ../Account/Logon.
Also, when I use the Html.Beginform(), the mvc framework generates <form action="/account/logon"..., I want to change this to <form action="account/logon"...So, problem is that I want relative paths instead of absolute path.
i am fetching image using webservice into dataset and displaying for that its to be get worked after deployment i have done following line of code but its still not able to display the image after deployment
String imageName = row["ImageName"].ToString();
String physicalPath = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.ToString();
String imagePath = physicalPath.Substring(0, physicalPath.LastIndexOf("/",
StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) + 1) + imageName;
Is there any control which has to browse folder path alone instead of selecting folder path + file ?any server side or client side control ?

When to use absolute path, relative path and what is the difference between both?
I created a survey in vb.net where results are stored in an Excel file.Locally I can access and update the data of the file, but if I put online can not correctly access the excel file.How can I determine the absolute url of the file so, when a user submits the answers they can be inserted correctly in the excel file? Currently I use this to determine the location of the file:
Dim LocalizacaoFicheiro As String = String.Concat(Server.MapPath("."), "RespostasQuestionario.xlsx")
I am really surprised that there is no native .NET method to get an absolute url from a relative url. I know this has been discussed many times, but never have come across a satisfactory method that handles this well. I think all I need left is to auto choose the protocol instead of hard coding it (http/https). Anything else I am missing (caveats, performance, etc)?
public static string GetAbsoluteUrl(string url)
{
//VALIDATE INPUT FOR ALREADY ABSOLUTE URL
if (url.StartsWith("http://", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) || url.StartsWith("https://", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
{
return url;
}
//GET PAGE REFERENCE FOR CONTEXT PROCESSING
Page page = HttpContext.Current.Handler as Page;
//RESOLVE PATH FOR APPLICATION BEFORE PROCESSING
if (url.StartsWith("~/"))
{
url = page.ResolveUrl(url);
}
//BUILD AND RETURN ABSOLUTE URL
return "http://" + page.Request.ServerVariables["SERVER_NAME"] + "/" + url.TrimStart('/');
}
I have a Datalist where I want to retrive Images from a folder and I have done URL rewritting so Images is not displaying when I write something like this:
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" ImageUrl='<%# Bind("Product_Image", "~/ProductImages/{0}") %>'
NavigateUrl='<%#"http://localhost:49524Mysite/Product/" + stringToBase64String(Eval("ProductID").ToString())%>' CommandName="IMG" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("ProductID")%>' runat="server"></asp:HyperLink>

I don't want to write whole URL.
I have a string variable called pdfdestination which points to a file on another server. This string is "\\mars\IntranetUploads\pdf\testpdf1.pdf"; The following code doesn't work:
[Code]....
and the reason is that it won't just directly input that string into the address bar, but instead the path it tries to access begins at the root of my application. In other words, the resulting URL comes out like: [URL] I simply need the browser to directly access: \marsIntranetUploadspdf estpdf1.pdf
How to give absolute path, that working with virtual directory and localhost

I have a class (.cs) in my web application project called CompanyResponseInfo.cs. This class inherits from a class called, ResponseInfo.cs, which is from a class library which is referenced as a compiled dll in the web application. CompanyResponseInfo is called from the ResponseInfo base class. In the CompanyResponseInfo class I need to build a file path to a file that resides in the directory 'web root/resources/standard.xslt'.
Now i know that because CompanyResponseInfo is instanciated from within the inherited ResponseInfo class from a referenced library, the 'System.Web.HttpContext.Current' object is null so I cannot gain access to MapPath and all the other Server object properties for me to obtain path properties relating to the web application.
I have also tried using 'System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPath' which did work locally, but when I put the web application on our test IIS server it never worked correctly as it seemed to use the path in which IIS resides.
I guess this would be a common problem, so what are my options in my case when I need to get the absolute web application path so I can use it to get the absolute path for a XSLT file so I can load it into the XslCompiledTransform.Load()?
Exsits any way to modify the temporary folder path returned by System.IO.Path.GetTempPath() method?
My asp.net application run under iis 7.
I'm going to be deploying an app in the near future on an IIS7 server, and would like to use the per-application URL rewriting settings in web.config, but this is not an ASP.NET application, so I have no need for anything superfluous.
What is the absolute minimum I need in my web.config in order to run my application and use URL Rewriting?

Scenario is I have a application relative url like "~/path/to/page.aspx?query=string". I need to programatically create a web request to that page and currently using WebRequest.Create. The problem is WebRequest.Create requires a fully qualified url including the protocol/domain/port etc.I have access to the current Request.Url object but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to get just the base url keeping the protocol (HTTP vs HTTPS) as well as any port numbers as well as the path to the applicationI mean all the info there, so if need be I could just take all the parts and combine them but it seems like it might be error prone and it would be great to have something built-in that's well tested to do the job. Page.ResolveUrl gets me almost there, but it's missing the protocol and the domain/port.

For example I have site http://localhost/site In IIS I set that 404 error causes redirection to default.aspx
If I type something like http://localhost/site/nodirectory , (there are no such folder) all works perfectly.
But if I only add slah at end http://localhost/site/nodirectory/, page can't display css and images.
Images and css are located in their own folder. I tried different paths: "gfx/logo.gif", "/gfx/logo.gif"
I have uploaded the image in to the database and retrieving it without any error. But when i download, it shows an error in the path as 'C:Windowssystem32inetsrvphotovg.jpg'
