Hi, all, does anyone know why
Server.MapPath("http://www.mysite.net/SomeDirectory/SomeFile.aspx";)
returns the result:
C:\DirectoriesToInetPub\SomeDirectory\http:\www.mysite.net\SomeDirectory
\SomeFile.aspx?
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

TIA, Mats

the request may be to enter the physical Server Path.
You must enter the full path to your servers path (eg.
C:\inetpub\mysite\somedirectory\somefile.aspx)

The Server.MapPath doesn't like to have the protocal lumped in
with the address, it just likes an address in web site tree.
Just like in regular asp use:
Server.MapPath("/SomeDirectory/SomeFile.aspx")
assuming SomeDirectory is right below the web root.

MapPath expects a relative path, not an absolute path. Try:

Server.MapPath("/SomeDirectory/SomeFile.aspx")

Follow up question:
Is there any option to have it return the slash (/) by default instead of
the backslash (\) (so I don't have to run it through the replace function)?
