server mappath C#

you want to do this in the WCF service ?

yes thats where it will be.

i need to point to a repo..

"\\SR-SCO-D10\\Labels\\Labels.tfr"

if it's hosted in asp .net web , then something like this should work,

HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/somefile.txt");

remeber that [AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]

atribute should be there

You can return a string from WCF Service similar as HttpContent.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Labels/Labels.tfr") and get the value in SL calling the same service

Hi i wont be back online until monday to try examples, niteshl what is your example like?

Razza,

Did not get your question..

Hai ,
       HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(".") will give you the current working directory.
HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/sample.tcl");
Or you can use like this also ,
HostingEnvironment.MapPath(".");

You can follow this link also ,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.hosting.virtualpathprovider.aspx

when you are doing with asp.net you can user mappath function as shown below

HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/somefile.txt");

other wise you want to do in silverlight and wcf ria services use below syntax,

string filepath = HostingEnvironment.MapPath(filename);
        FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(filenpath);

Hi Guys thanks for all your feedback.

i need to use UNC \\ rather than ~ relative path

so if the repo.tfr resides in e.g. 10.148.22.35 server and within the C:\...\...\Labels.tfr directory

could i still get access? and i think i might need to use this if its for silverlight wcf...
form.Repository = HostingEnvironment.MapPath("\\..\..\..\")


Thanks

You wouldn't need to use MapPath on a UNC...  A UNC is an absolute path  = )

Hi kaufmed in what way would it be used?

Just assign the server path like form.repo = unc server path ??
