Question

I have some files in the network path (\machine\folder\folder..). In asp.net, trying to pull the files from this path. here i want to use relative path not this network(absolute) path. please suggest on how to?

Answer 1

Using Path.GetFullPath should give you the relative path.

Alternatively, if you are trying to link to images; for example, on a network share you would need to make sure that the share is visible to your web server. You could then add specific AppSettings in your web.config to hold the UNC path to the Image directory:

<appSettings>
    <add key="imagePath" value="\\server\images\" />
</appSettings>

In you code behind, you could then do something like this to get the image:

string img = @ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["imagePath"].ToString() + "\\Image1.jpg";
