How can I use Server.MapPath inside class library project

Question

I have a web application thet has a number of class library projects. Some example code below.

public static class LenderBL
{
    static string LenderXml { get { return "MyPathHere"; } }

    public static LenderColl GetLenders()
    {
        var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(LenderColl));

        using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(LenderXml))
        {
            return (LenderColl)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
        }
    }
}

I would normally use Server.MapPath to get the path for the property LenderXml, but when I use it in a class library is returns the path of the parent solution, not that of the class library project.

Is there a way of getting the path for the class libary project itself?

Thanks in advance.

As I can understand you need the current assembly location

static public string CurrentAssemblyDirectory()
{
    string codeBase = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase;
    UriBuilder uri = new UriBuilder(codeBase);
    string path = Uri.UnescapeDataString(uri.Path);
    return Path.GetDirectoryName(path);
}
