.Net DirectoryInfo path

Question

Does anyone know how to set the path for DirectoryInfo when I want to map to a folder named images on webRoot. /images

Any help much appreciated, Thanks

Answer 1

String  virtualPath= "~\\images";
String RealPath=Server.MapPath(virtualPath); //it must be done at web application
System.IO.DirectoryInfo directory= new System.IO.DirectoryInfo(RealPath);

Answer 2

If you have a path relative to your web-app, you'll need to map it with the MapPath(...) method.

In the Page class:

string fullyQualifiedFilename = Server.MapPath(relativeFilename);

or outside of the page class:

string fullyQualifiedFilename = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(relativeFilename);

Answer 3

new DirectoryInfo(Path.Combine(Server.MapPath(Request.ApplicationPath), "images"));
