get the file path

[Ken]

I have application files under "C:\$\TestApp".
there is a test.xml file under "C:\$\TestApp\test.xml"
I made a virtural directory in IIS as "TestApp"

currently in application, "Request.MapPath( string)" is used to get the full
filepath.
the result is like @"c:\inetpub\wwwroot\TestApp\test.xml"
but the real path is @"c:$\TestApp\test.xml".

What should I use to get the real path?

Thanks

Right-click on the TestApp in your IIS manager, go to Properties.

In the Local Path field type C:\TestApp

Save

It'd been already set up like that.
but it doesn't work.

Thanks though.
