Not sure of what exactly you are talking of but you can always get the full path (absolute path) of the current page/resource you are using in the code. You will have all the things in the path - virtual directory name, resource relative path, etc. Extract the one you need.

While we host a website, we give the Virtual Directory Alias. I want to get this name from my C# code.

Sandeep Mewara 25-Oct-10 7:53am

Whatever alias you give while hosting, it should be in the full URL. Isin't it there?

bedathur_ganesh 25-Oct-10 7:59am

No, the URL will not contain the virtual directory alias name. It shows the folder name(website) that is being hosted.

Sandeep Mewara 25-Oct-10 8:04am

I doubt that. For me the name that I give in IIS for the folder is the one I get in URL. Not the folder name.

So, if my folder name is 'MyApplication' and while hosting it I set Virtual directory as 'MyHostedApp', then when I access URL it will contain 'MyHostedApp' in it.

can you please tell me how you are using it? because in the URL I am getting the Folder Name.

Okay, I checked your discussion above.

Use this,

C#

Request.ServerVariables["PATH_INFO"];

this will give you: /alias/...

Extract the alias.

Hope this helps!

try this one:

string vDirectory = "";
if (Request.ServerVariables["APPL_MD_PATH"]!="")
if (Request.ServerVariables["APPL_MD_PATH"].Remove(0, Request.ServerVariables["APPL_MD_PATH"].IndexOf("ROOT/") + 5) != "")
vDirectory = Request.ServerVariables["APPL_MD_PATH"].Remove(0, Request.ServerVariables["APPL_MD_PATH"].IndexOf("ROOT/") + 5) + "/";

how can I get the virtual directory alias name from .cs file
