Question

How do I read a file located in a same folder where my page resides in in ASP.NET (C#)?
I have a page called mypage.aspx and I’m trying to read in a file called foo.txt residing in a same directory as this page.

Is there a way to open that file for reading with File.OpenRead()?
Providing a relative path like File.OpenRead("foo.txt") fails b/c of the location of the file.

Answer 1

It should be something like

File.OpenRead(Server.MapPath("foo.txt"));
