Request Object Paths

Here's a list of the Path related properties on the Request object (and the Page object). Assume a path like http://www.west-wind.com/webstore/admin/paths.aspx for the paths below where webstore is the name of the virtual.

Request Property	Description and Value

PhysicalApplicationPath	Returns local file system path of the virtual root for this app. c:\inetpub\wwwroot\webstore
PhysicalPath	Returns the local file system path to the current script or path. c:\inetpub\wwwroot\webstore\admin\paths.aspx
Path FilePath CurrentExecutionFilePath	All of these return the full root relative logical path to the script page including path and scriptname. CurrentExcecutionFilePath will return the ‘current’ request path after a Transfer/Execute call while FilePath will always return the original request’s path. /webstore/admin/paths.aspx
AppRelativeCurrentExecutionFilePath	Returns an ASP.NET root relative virtual path to the script or path for the current request. If in a Transfer/Execute call the transferred Path is returned. ~/admin/paths.aspx
PathInfo	Returns any extra path following the script name. If no extra path is provided returns the root-relative path (returns text in red below). string.Empty if no PathInfo is available. /webstore/admin/paths.aspx/ExtraPathInfo

UrlReferrer	The fully qualified URL of the page that sent the request. This is also a Uri instance and this value is null if the page was directly accessed by typing into the address bar or using an HttpClient. Based Referrer client Http header. http://www.west-wind.com/webstore/default.aspx?Info
Control. TemplateSourceDirectory	Returns the logical path to the folder of the page, master or user control on which it is called. This is useful if you need to know the path only to a Page or control from within the control. For non-file controls this returns the Page path. /webstore/admin/
