common Application Path

[raghu3]

I am creating a generic class which will be used from asp.net console apps and web apps.
I need to use something like Application.Path so that I can have only 1 copy of the class.
I do not want to have the same copy at 2 places with just a path different:
for console apps, it will be the application path
for web based, it will be

http://wwwroot/bin.

Any advise ?

Well the class can't know what type of application is going to use it unless you tell it, so why not create a property especially for this purpose and return the path based on the value that was set. It could also have a default path unless told otherwise.

Can I do something like in VB: application path, where in the class expects from the current directory where it is running.

>> where in the class expects from the current directory where it is running.

checkout the Request object. ur class can access it using:

HttpContext.Current.Request

The request object can give u the path of the currently executing page file...

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

work around:
overloaded the method. Default path for web apps and send the path for rest.
This way I have a common repository.
