An application absolute path is one where the application path is used instead of the root operator (the tilde [~]).
If virtualPath is:
Absolute, the ToAbsolute method returns the virtual path unchanged.
Application relative, the ToAbsolute method appends the current application virtual directory path to the beginning of the virtualPath. For example, the current application virtual directory path can be accessed from the AppDomainAppVirtualPath property.
Not rooted, the ToAbsolute method raises an ArgumentOutOfRangeException exception.
