How do I get the current directory in a web service

Question

I am using System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() to get the current directory in my web service, but that does not give me the current directory. How do I get the curren

Answer 1

HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/") maps back to the root of the application or virtual directory.

HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/") <-- ROOT
HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(".") <-- CURRENT DIRECTORY
HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("..") <-- PARENT DIRECTORY

All the above is relative, so you can you any combination to traverse the directory tree.
