c# - httpcontext.current.server.mappath Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Question

I am using the following code within a class:

string filePath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/email/teste.html");

The file teste.html is in the folder

But when it will open the file the following error is being generated:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Answer 1

Don't use Server.MapPath. It's slow. Use this instead, HttpRuntime.AppDomainAppPath. As long as your web site is running, this property is always available to you.

Then use it like this:

string filePath = Path.Combine(HttpRuntime.AppDomainAppPath, "email/teste.html");
