hi, The MapPath method maps a specified path to a physical path. In your application, you might need to determine the path of a file or other resource on the server. For example, if your Web project reads or writes a text file programmatically, you must supply the file's complete physical path to the methods used for reading and writing. please refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms524632%28v=vs.90%29.aspx hope this will help u.

Hi, Server.MapPath used to map the server path where the application hosted. It will gives you the path where the files can be stored. The MapPath method maps the specified relative or virtual path to the corresponding physical directory on the server. Specifies the relative or virtual path to map to a physical directory. If Path starts with either a forward (/) or backward slash (\), the MapPath method returns a path as if Path were a full, virtual path. If Path doesn't start with a slash, the MapPath method returns a path relative to the directory of the .asp file being processed.
