UserControl.MapPath Method (String)

.NET Framework (current version)

Assigns a virtual file path, either absolute or relative, to a physical file path.

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

Syntax

member MapPath : 
        virtualPath:string -> string

Parameters

virtualPath: Type: System.String
The virtual file path to map.

Return Value

Type: System.String

The physical path to the file.

While similar to the Page.MapPath method, this method maps the path from the .ascx file's location, not the .aspx file's location. You can use this method to obtain a path to a directory of images or other resources associated with your UserControl object.

Examples

The following example calls the MapPath method to associate an actualServerPath variable with the physical path associated with the user control named myControl.
