- virtualPath
- String
The virtual file path to map.
Returns
The physical path to the file.
Examples
The following example calls the MapPath method to associate an actualServerPath variable with the physical path associated with the user control named myControl.
myControl.Response.Write("<br /><b>The server code is running on machine</b> : " + myControl.Server.MachineName);
string actualServerPath = myControl.MapPath(myControl.Request.Path);
myControl.Response.Write("<br /><b>The server code is running on machine</b> : " + myControl.Server.MachineName)
Dim actualServerPath As String = myControl.MapPath(myControl.Request.Path)
Remarks
While similar to the Page.MapPath method, this method maps the path from the .ascx file's location, not the .aspx file's location. You can use this method to obtain a path to a directory of images or other resources associated with your UserControl object.
