Question

In a class library, I have a file that is set to copy to output directory at NewFolder1/HTMLPage1.htm.

I tried this:

var foo = File.ReadAllText("NewFolder1/HTMLPage1.htm");

But the error is:

ould not find a part of the path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DevServer\10.0\NewFolder1\HTMLPage1.htm'.

How do I read this file?

Answer 1

Use this:

var foo = File.ReadAllText(Server.MapPath("NewFolder1/HTMLPage1.htm"));

If you place the above code in an MVC controller action you can change Server to this.HttpContext.Server to work
