Hi Bryan,
Thanks for your response.
Based on my further test, we can try using the HttpContext.Cur rent.Request
to access the HttpRequest object since Application_Sta rt is also fired by
a certain client request. However, as Juan has mentioned, generally
speaking Request is invisible in application_Sta rt event, you'd better add
some code to check whether the HttpContext's member property being null so
as to insure no exception will occured. Also, if possible, you can
consider Juan's suggestion on move the App Path query to Page's certain
event (cache them once).
Thanks,
Steven Cheng

|
| There is a way, but not from Application_Sta rt.
| As you already know, the Request object is not available in it.
|
| Can you use the Init event ? ( Overriding it with OnInit ), or the
Page_Load event ?
| Either of them would allow you to Request the application's virtual path.
|
| Also, unless you want the data to be portable to other boxes, you could
| simply set an Application variable which holds the Application's virtual
path
| ( kinda klunky, I know, but it would get the job done... ).
