Getting an application path from a web service

Question

Is it possible to access a web service from inside a windows form and somehow get the path of the web service? If not is it possible to map the physical path from an http address in a web service that is accessed from a windows form (not an ASP.NET page)? I know you can use MapPath if you are accessing from a web page but how about a windows form? -Mike

Hi I guess you create a web method in webserver that returns physical path. You can call this web method in you client program. All the best ramesh rpalipi@yahoo.com

Isn't there URL property in the WebService class? (I'm not at .NET now so can't check) Can you use MapPath to a web service? I doubt that. I mean getting a physical path to web page (or service) that is on different server. Shouldn't be possible. Not from ASP.NET nor from WinForms app.
