Question

I have been using Url.Content inside <% and %> in my views and all seems to be working fine… Then from withing my controller i have tried the following, but it always returns the wrong path

 XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load(Url.Content("~/content/xml/faq.xml"));

and

 XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load(VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute("~/content/xml/faq.xml"));

Basically the path shoudl be c:\Vs2008\Source\MyAppName…..

but its returning c:\MyAppName…..

So its invalid,

Any ideas why this is happning?? Is there a work around?

Answer 1

That’s correct. I’m not sure why it’s adding the C:\ but MyApp…\ is the absolute path.

Have you tried Server.MapPath?
