Similar question to the one found here: ASP.NET MVC - Find Absolute Path to the App_Data folder from Controller.
Is App_Data folder gone? Server.MapPath seems to be gone too.
I tried to achieve the same results with Url.Content, but it doesn't seem to be working.
We do have App_Data in vNext.
This should still work
string path = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetData("DataDirectory").ToString();
As for Server.MapPath equivalents you can use AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory and build your path from there.
You can also use the IApplicationEnvironment service
private readonly IApplicationEnvironment _appEnvironment;
public HomeController(IApplicationEnvironment appEnvironment)
{
_appEnvironment = appEnvironment;
}
public IActionResult Index()
{
var rootPath = _appEnvironment.ApplicationBasePath;
return View();
}
IHostingEnvironment is the moral equivalent of the IApplicationEnvironment for web applications. For PhysicalFileSystem, IHostingEnvironment falls back to IApplicationEnvironment.
private readonly IHostingEnvironment _hostingEnvironment;
public HomeController(IHostingEnvironment hostingEnvironment)
{
_hostingEnvironment = hostingEnvironment;
}
public IActionResult Index()
{
var rootPath = _hostingEnvironment.MapPath("APP_DATA");
return View();
}
MapPath exists in IHostingEnvironment
private readonly IHostingEnvironment _env;
public HomeController(IHostingEnvironment env)
{
_env = env;
}
public IActionResult Index()
{
var dataFolderPath = _env.MapPath("APP_DATA");
return View();
}
