Question

I’ve been using the same method called CheckIfImageExiste(string virtualPath, string finename) on 3 pages now because the method contains the method Server.MapPath.

The method is supposed to receive a virtual path and image file’s name and check if the the image is in the right folder. So when the method receive the parameter, it needs to translate it into a physical path.

in a code behind, I can do something like:

string physicalPath = Server.MapPath(virtualPath);

But, if I decide to move CheckIfImageExiste() to another class so that it can be shared by all 3 classes, how can I define Server.MapPath(virtualPath) in the new class? I mean, what are the references?

Thanks for helping

HttpServerUtility should be available:

…or you could pass your new function a reference to the page itself.
