Hi You can get the physical path of the file in the web server root folder. // This will locate the Example.xml file in the App_Data folder. // ... (App_Data is a good place to put data files.) string a = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(~/App_Data/Example.xml); // This will locate the Example.txt file in the root directory. // ... This can be used in a file in any directory in the application. string b = HttpContext.Current.Request.MapPath(~/Example.txt); You can also get from this. // Write request information to the file with HTML encoding. string strPhyAppPath = Server.HtmlEncode(Request.PhysicalApplicationPath); string strsw = Server.HtmlEncode(Request.PhysicalPath); string strRaw = Server.HtmlEncode(Request.RawUrl); I suggest you to go through this url: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.httprequest.physicalpath.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.httprequest.currentexecutionfilepath.aspx http://www.dotnetperls.com/mappath
