Your webserver will need to expose this for you. You'd need to write
a webservice on your webserver that does a Server.MapPath.

There is no code to visit any webserver and find out the logical disk
layout. What are you trying to accomplish?

This works fine when I have a standard file path - 'C:/Test' - however I sometimes have a UNC path - '//remoteComputer/Test' - and IIS appears to choke when it's given that. So, is there any way of translating a UNC path to the physical path on the remote computer? ie: Translating '...

Hi everyone my database is in a folder inside the inetpub folder (c:\inetpub\bd\mydatabase.mdb) and my web application is in a folder inside the wwwroot folder. My question is: Is there a way of accessing my database using virtual directories, that is, for example if I was using html I could achieve this putting "..\..\bd\mydatabase.mdb".

Hi - I'm currently using the FileUpload control to allow people to upload files to my website. This all works fine, as long as I'm going to a physical path on my server. However, I need to allow people to upload to a virtual directory. The directory may or may not exist on the same server as the Web site. I can't seem to figure out how to do this. If I pass the virtual

Hello, I have a web application with a virtual directory in it. With 'virtual directory' i mean a folder whose physical path is different from the physical path of the application, but in which Web Sharing is active. For example: my application is in "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyApp", the Virtual folder is in "C:\VirtualFolder", and IIS sees it as if it were in "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyApp\VirtualFolder".

Best way I can think to describe this is through an example. I have a virtual directory, let's call it "MyVirtualDirectory" that maps to \\MyServer\Shared. I have a path that is \\MyServer\Shared\SomeDirectory\SomeFile.txt. I need to convert this path to a virtual path with the virtual directory name. The result I'm after would be: MyVirtualDirectory\SomeDirectory\SomeFile.txt

Server.MapPath("~/page.aspx") returns the physical file path based on the specified virtual path. Is there any reverse method to get the virtual path based on the physical path (both pathes belong to the same web application)? Usually I do in this way: virtualFilePath = physicalFilePath.Replace(physicalRootDirectoryPath,"~/") Perhaps, is there standard inbuilt method?
