Namespace:   System.Web
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)

public:
static String^ ToAbsolute(
	String^ virtualPath,
	String^ applicationPath
)

Parameters

virtualPath
Type: System::String^

The virtual path to convert to an application-relative path.

applicationPath
Type: System::String^

The application path to use to convert virtualPath to a relative path.

Return Value

Type: System::String^

The absolute virtual path representation of virtualPath.

Exception Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

applicationPath is not rooted.

HttpException

A leading double period (..) is used in the application path to exit above the top directory.

The ToAbsolute overload of the ToAbsolute method uses the supplied application path rather than the current application path.

If virtualPath is:

  • Absolute, the ToAbsolute method returns the virtual path with no changes.

  • Application relative, the ToAbsolute method adds applicationPath to the beginning of the virtual path.

  • Not rooted, the ToAbsolute method raises an ArgumentOutOfRangeException exception.
