Question

I’m trying to convert the relative path to the absolute path with System.Web.VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute()

But I got this error:

The relative virtual path ‘./images/gift-card.jpg’ is not allowed here.

By the way, the file structure is

this code is in a .cs file and this file is in the same folder (let’s say /root) with other .aspx files. The image is in a folder, /root/images/

Any ideas?

ps:
even I change the path to ‘~/images/gift-card.jpg’ it still throws an exception: Unhandled Exception without further information.

Answer 1

I found the solution

Server.MapPath(“~/path/file.ext”)

This perfectly solved my problem and it was the method I was looking for.

Thank you all for your input.

Cheers
