How do I get the complete virtual path of an ASP.NET application
Solution 1
The domain name part of the path is not really a property of the application itself, but depends on the requesting URL. You might be able to reach a single Web site from many different host names. To get the domain name associated with the current request, along with the virtual path of the current application, you could do:
Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority) + Request.ApplicationPath
Technically, an "application" is a virtual directory defined in IIS and Request.ApplicationPath
returns exactly that. If you want to get the folder in which the current request is handled, you can do this:
VirtualPathUtility.GetDirectory(Request.Path)
ASP.NET has no idea how to distinguish your sub-application from a bigger application if it's not defined as a virtual directory in IIS. Without registering in IIS, it just sees the whole thing as a single app.
Solution 2
Request.Url
it contains several points that you might consider to use, see the image below:
Solution 3
In .NET 4.5
VirtualPathUtility.ToAppRelative(path)
Solution 4
The below code will solve the purpose, however you have to do a bit tuning for two types of scenarios:
- Hosted as separate web application.
-
Hosted as Virtual application within a web application.
HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority) + HttpRuntime.AppDomainAppVirtualPath;
Solution 5
Try this (Haven't tried it)
public string GetVirtualPath(string physicalPath)
{
string rootpath = Server.MapPath("~/");
physicalPath = physicalPath.Replace(rootpath, "");
physicalPath = physicalPath.Replace("\\", "/");
return "~/" + physicalPath;
}

How do I know the the complete virtual path that my application is currently hosted? For example:
http://www.mysite.com/myApp
or
http://www.mysite.com/myApp/mySubApp
I know the application path of HttpRequest but it only returns the folder name that my application is currently hosted, but how do I get the initial part?

Krunal over 10 yearsAnd if the application is a virtual directory in IIS, but the page we're requested is inside several folder, but we want path including virtual directory but not folders, how to do this?
