The correct/advised way to loading a file from the server

Hello,

I am planning on loading html files depending on what options are picked and then placing them into a label control (yup it can be done ). However, I noticed that if I use the Directory class <txtTest.Text=Directory.GetCurrentDirectory().ToString();> to get the current directory it responds with the following:



c:\windows\system32\inetsrv


Obviously it is unlikely that my webhome directory root is at that location so if possible -Iwould liketo either load files using an offset command (offset from my 'home/web' directory) or I need to know the exact path of my web storage root directory. Hopefully the former otherwise the code will fail if my webhome storage point is moved to a different location.


Any help would be very much appreciated.

Never mind thanks anyway, found it

for future reference

Request.ServerVariables["APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH"]

eg

StreamReader srRdr=new StreamReader(Request.ServerVariables["APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH"]+"\\PathofFile.ext");

Cheers

Mark
