Type: SystemThe virtual directory of the page or user control that contains the server control.
The TemplateSourceDirectory property specifies the path to the page or user control that contains the current control. For example, if the Web page resides at http://www.contoso.com/application/subdirectory, the TemplateSourceDirectory property returns "application/subdirectory".
To return the application-relative virtual path ("~/subdirectory"), use the AppRelativeTemplateSourceDirectory property.
The following example uses the TemplateSourceDirectory property twice. The first time it is used in a Control
' An HttpException occurs if the server control does not,;
' have permissions to read the resulting mapped file.
output.Write("The Actual Path of the virtual directory : " & _
MapPathSecure(TemplateSourceDirectory) & "<br>")
' Get all the files from the absolute path of 'MyControl';
' using TemplateSourceDirectory which gives the virtual Directory.
Dim myFiles As String() = Directory.GetFiles(MapPathSecure(TemplateSourceDirectory))
output.Write("The files in this Directory are <br>")
' List all the files.
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To myFiles.Length - 1
output.Write(myFiles(i) & "<br>")
Next i
// An HttpException occurs if the server control does not,;
// have permissions to read the resulting mapped file.
output.Write("The Actual Path of the virtual directory : "+
MapPathSecure(TemplateSourceDirectory)+"<br>");
// Get all the files from the absolute path of 'MyControl';
// using TemplateSourceDirectory which gives the virtual Directory.
string [] myFiles=
Directory.GetFiles(MapPathSecure(TemplateSourceDirectory));
output.Write("The files in this Directory are <br>");
// List all the files.
for (int i=0;i<myFiles.Length;i++)
output.Write(myFiles[i]+"<br>");
