Converts a virtual path to an application absolute path. |
| ToAbsolute(String, String) |
Converts a virtual path to an application absolute path using the specified application path. |
ToAbsolute(String)
Converts a virtual path to an application absolute path.
public:
static System::String ^ ToAbsolute(System::String ^ virtualPath);public static string ToAbsolute (string virtualPath);static member ToAbsolute : string -> stringPublic Shared Function ToAbsolute (virtualPath As String) As StringParameters
- virtualPath
- String
The virtual path to convert to an application-relative path.
Returns
The absolute path representation of the specified virtual path.
Exceptions
virtualPath is not rooted.
A leading double period (..) is used to exit above the top directory.
Remarks
An application absolute path is one where the application path is used instead of the root operator (the tilde [~]).
If virtualPath is:
Absolute, the ToAbsolute method returns the virtual path unchanged.
Application relative, the ToAbsolute method appends the current application virtual directory path to the beginning of the
virtualPath. For example, the current application virtual directory path can be accessed from the AppDomainAppVirtualPath property.Not rooted, the ToAbsolute method raises an ArgumentOutOfRangeException exception.
