Question

I’m retrieveing the current path with:

Dim paths As String = HttpContext.Current.Request.FilePath

Which returns something like /VHP/hmo.aspx

What I need to narrow down is the FOLDER (VHP). How do I remove the / before it and the /filename after it?

Does this work for you?

Dim paths As String = HttpContext.Current.Request.FilePath
Dim dir as String= Path.GetDirectoryName(Server.MapPath(path))

UPDATE
According to your code, you should do this:

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load 
  Dim strFileNamePath As String = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Server.MapPath(HttpContext.Current.Request.FilePath))

  ''some how grab the working folder name here 
  If strFileNamePath = "xyz" Then 
  'do this 
  Else If strFileNamePath = "abc" then 
   'do this' 
  End If
End Sub

Notice how I changed HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsolutePath for HttpContext.Current.Request.FilePath
