Middle-tier equivalent to server.mappath?

[Craig Buchanan]

I would like to use xml files as the datasource for a few vb.net classes
that sit in the business tier. It would make sense to located this files in
a subdirectory relative to the location of the DLLs. Is there a way to do
this?

Thanks,

1. you can use Application.Startuppath and append the xmlfiles folder to it (subfolder relative to the bin folder

O

2. you can have a setting in App.config that points to the source xml files whereever they're located

ConfigurationSettings.Appsettings("[keyname]").Tostring

when I do this like this I always use the

httpcontext.current class

that way it ensures the method execute in the same thread as the web
application.

i think you have to do this while using request/response/trace objects
