Server.MapPath does not exist in current context

Question

Inside my MVC4 project I have the namespace

prj.MVC4.Controllers

where I'm using Server.MapPath(..) without problem and on

prj.MVC4.Models

Server.MapPath(...) does not exist on current context.

I'm aware that Server.MapPath resides in System.Web and both namespace and assembly are added into class with using System.Web and System.Web.dll is added to the prj.

on Ctrl + .. I'm getting Microsoft.SqlServer as suggested namespace to add.

How to fix this?

Answer 1

Server is a property of the controller, to access it elsewhere while running a web application you can use

System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server

Answer 2

Server property is accessible from within controller. You can also find it in HttpContext.Current provided that your app is executed inside asp.net environment.
