Determing web-site root

[Mantorok]

Hi all

Is there anyway of locating the root folder for your current web-site, ie if
I have a site running on http://intranet/applicationname, is there anywhere
in .Net that contains that info?

I've looked at the Uri class but it doesn't seem to cover that, it will go
up to http://intranet/ but I need to know the root of the app itself, it
could be http://intranet/mainsite/subsite/applicationname for all I know.

Any ideas?
Does that make sense?
Thanks
Kev

Hi Mantorok,

You could use the below statements to get the absoluteUrl

string url=this.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.ToString();
string absoluteUrl = url.Substring(0, url.LastIndexOf('/'));

You can construct it very easily with Request.Url.Host and Request.ApplicationPath.

Dim appname as string = Request.Url.Host
Dim fullappname as string = _
"The application root's full URL is : " & "http://" & appname & Request.ApplicationPath & "/"

See it working at : http://asp.net.do/test/apppath.aspx

Which fails if the site is using SSL.

You can always do an if using either :

Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_PORT_SECURE")
or
System.Web.HttpRequest.IsSecureConnection

....can't you ?

Aha, that's where I was going wrong, I was trying to access it from the Url
alone, not the Request.

Thanks very much, that's great.
