How to get absolute path in ASP net core alternative way for Server.MapPath

I have tried to use IHostingEnvironment

Answer 1

* Hack * Not recommended, but FYI you can get an absolute path from a relative path with var abs = Path.GetFullPath("~/Content/Images/Sample.PNG").Replace("~\\","");

Prefer the DI/Service approaches above, but if you are in a non-DI situation (e.g., a class instantiated with Activator) this will work.
