Map the physical file path in asp.net mvc

Question

I am trying to read an XSLT file from disk in my ASP.Net MVC controller. What I am doing is the following:

string filepath = HttpContext.Request.PhysicalApplicat         


        

Answer 1

string filePath = Server.MapPath(Url.Content("~/Content/Xsl/"));

I disagree with the idea that HttpContext.Current is "evil." It's not the hammer for every problem, but it is certainly better than, e.g., Session for stuff that it can do OK.
