Re: Server.MapPath & Request.MapPath

Hello rn5a@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,

There are no difference in this aspect, because the Server.MapPath calls the _context.Request.MapPath(path)
inside its method

Server.MapPath returns the physical file path that corresponds to the
specified virtual path whereas Request.MapPath maps the specified
virtual path to a physical path. Assuming that a file named Hello.aspx
resides in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyFolder, the output of both

Response.Write(Server.MapPath("Hello.aspx"))

&

Response.Write(Request.MapPath("Hello.aspx"))

is C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyFolder\Hello.aspx. So what's the difference
between Server.MapPath & Request.MapPath?

Thanks
