is there an opposite of server.mappath?

[darrel]

Given a URL to a file, you can user server.mappath to get the actual system
file path.

Is there a function that does the opposite?

Ie, if I have this:

c:\inetpub\wwwroot\documents\myfile.txt

is there a function that will return:

/documents/myfile.txt?

I could parse the above do that myself, but was wondering if there is
already a built in function for that.

No there's not, because you could have any number of applications that map
onto that physical path.

You probabaly should always build a relative path from Request.ApplicationPath.

If you're going to attempt to be funny, at least be accurate...

YOU try typing "reverse" in reverse in a Monday morning! ;-)
