get application path in .NET

muckwarrior

Ok, i've got a web application in .NET. It consists of a c# class library which encompases all the core functionality of the application, and an ASP.NET interface. The ASP.NET project uses the class library for it's functionality.

The class library contains a log class for writing errors to a log. At the moment I have the path of the log file hard coded, but what I want it to do is create the log file in whatever directory the ASP.NET project is running in. So far I've tried System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, Application.ExecutablePath, and Application.StartupPath but none give me the path I need.

Does anyone know if it's possible to obtain the path of the ASP.NET app that references the class library, and if so, how?

Peace

Petr wrote this class...

	public class App
	{
		public App()
		{
			//
			// TODO: Add constructor logic here
			//
		}
		public static string AppPath()
		{
			return System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase);
			//return System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath;

		}


	}

I've commented out the Forms line as its not really applicable to your ASP stuff i believe.

I forgot to mention that it works for any of the webservices we are using...

Nice one. Just realised that I think I actually already had it working at one stage but didn't realise it because I forgot to publish the web project so it was giving me the debug path .

server.MapPath(request.ApplicationPath)
