absolute-path

What is the correct way to find the absolute path to the App_Data folder from a Controller in an ASP.NET MVC project? I'd like to be able to temporarily work with an .xml file and I don't want to hardcode the path. This does not work: [HandleError] public class HomeController : Controller { public ActionResult Index() { string path = VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute("~/App_Data/somedata.xml"); //.... do whatever return View(); } } I think outside of the web context VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute() doesn't work. string path comes back as "C:\App_Data\somedata.xml" Where should I determine the path

My question is: is it possible to get the absolute path of a resource (in a subdirectory of the res/ folder) in Android? Most of the answers I see to this question on google suggest getting a file descriptor, implying that this is not possible. Is it? EDIT: The reason I want to do this is because I'm writing classes that accept a path to media and play it. Testing would be much easier if I could pass the absolute path of a resource. HPP Use URI Paths instead of "absolute" path, see this post Uri path = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.segf4ult.test/" + R.drawable.icon); Uri otherPath = Uri

How these 2 paths are resolved in asp.net. why these 2 gives different path. At what time we need to go for these. <link href="/common/black_theme/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet"> (this is working) <link href="~/common/black_theme/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet"> (this is not working) As per my knowledge ~ represents root directory of the application "Common" is the folder under root of the website(named testsite.demo) in IIS physical path = D:\Physicalpath\WarpFirstSite\testsite.demo common folder location - D:\Physicalpath\WarpFirstSite\testsite.demo\common / - Site root ~/ - Root directory

I write a Java servlet that I want to install on many instances of Tomcat on different servers. The servlet uses some static files that are packed with the war file under WEB-INF. This is the directory structure in a typical installation: - tomcat -- webapps --- myapp ---- index.html ---- WEB-INF ----- web.xml ----- classes ------ src ------- ..... ----- MY_STATIC_FOLDER ------ file1 ------ file2 ------ file3 How can I know the absolute path of MY_STATIC_FOLDER, so that I can read the static files? I cannot rely on the "current folder" (what I get in a new File(".")) because it depends on

Is there a simple and reliable way to determine the URL of the currently-executing JavaScript file (inside a web page)? My only thought on this is to scan the DOM for all the script src attributes to find how the current file was referenced and then figure out the absolute URL by applying it to document.location . Anyone have other ideas, is there some super-easy method I completely overlooked? UPDATE: Script elements accessed via the DOM already have a src property which contains the full URL. I don't know how ubiquitous/standard that is, but alternatively you can use getAttribute("src")
