Question

I have a file hosted on the disk along with my website that I want to read .Not sure how do I access the file when I use System.Environment.CurrentDirectory it point to a D

Answer 1

I'm currently using AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory (.NET Core project). It returns "D:\home\site\wwwroot\" in Azure and the application root in local so the only difference is adding "bin\\" when it is Azure. I am searching the entire directory tree, just in case, but it can be trimmed.

It's something like:

private static string GetDriverPath(ILogger logger, string fileName)
{
    var path = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;

    if (File.Exists(Path.Combine(path, fileName)))
    {
        return path;
    }

    string[] paths= Directory.GetFiles(path, fileName, SearchOption.AllDirectories);

    if (paths.Any())
    {
        return Path.GetDirectoryName(paths.First());
    }

    throw new FileNotFoundException($"{fileName} was not found in {path}.", fileName);
}

I'm new answering questions and this is an old one but I hope it helps someone.
