    You can retrieve the module name twofold:

    • Orchard module acts as an ASP.NET MVC 3 area, so answer to your
      second question is here and here. This is the better way.

    • Or use reflection and get the name from the currently executing assembly, which is named like your module:

      Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Name

    If you have the name, getting the physical directory is as easy as writing:

    HostingEnvironment.MapPath(@"~/Modules/" + moduleName)
