Using Server.MapPath() inside a static field in ASP.NET MVC

Question

I\'m building an ASP.NET MVC site where I\'m using Lucene.Net for search queries. I asked a question here about how to properly structure Lucene.Net usage in an ASP.NET MVC

Answer 1

Try HostingEnvironment.MapPath, which is static.

See this SO question for confirmation that HostingEnvironment.MapPath returns the same value as Server.MapPath: What is the difference between Server.MapPath and HostingEnvironment.MapPath?
