Alternative of System.Web.HttpContext.Current when using ProgressBox

Question

Im running a long process using ProgressBox, and in that process im using System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath() method, which throws exception because System.Web.HttpContext.Current is null, Is there any method to do same functionality?

Answer 1

You can use

HostingEnvironment.MapPath(string path)

Answer 2

Yes.

Sitecore.IO.FileUtil.MapPath(string path)

Maps a virtual file path to a physical file path.

Parameters path - A virtual file path.

Return Value The physical file path.

Remarks If the file path is blank, contains a backslash () or contains the string "://" the path itself is returned.

Example The following example returns the physical filename of the mydata.xml file in the data folder. Afterwards the filename variable holds a value like "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\default website\sitecore\data\mydata.xml".

string filename = FileUtil.MapPath("/sitecore/data/mydata.xml");
