VirtualPathUtility.ToAppRelative Method

public:
 static System::String ^ ToAppRelative(System::String ^ virtualPath);

public static string ToAppRelative (string virtualPath);

static member ToAppRelative : string -> string

Public Shared Function ToAppRelative (virtualPath As String) As String

Parameters

Returns

The application-relative path representation of virtualPath.

Exceptions

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the IsAbsolute, IsAppRelative, and ToAppRelative methods.

StringBuilder sb2 = new StringBuilder();
String pathstring1 = Context.Request.CurrentExecutionFilePath.ToString();
sb2.Append("Current Executing File Path = " + pathstring1.ToString() + "<br />");
sb2.Append("Is Absolute = " + VirtualPathUtility.IsAbsolute(pathstring1).ToString() + "<br />");
sb2.Append("Is AppRelative = " + VirtualPathUtility.IsAppRelative(pathstring1).ToString() + "<br />");
sb2.Append("Make AppRelative = " + VirtualPathUtility.ToAppRelative(pathstring1).ToString() + "<br />");
Response.Write(sb2.ToString());

Dim sb2 As New StringBuilder()
Dim pathstring1 As String = Context.Request.CurrentExecutionFilePath.ToString()
sb2.Append("Current Executing File Path = " & pathstring1.ToString() & "<br />")
sb2.Append("Is Absolute = " & VirtualPathUtility.IsAbsolute(pathstring1).ToString() & "<br />")
sb2.Append("Is AppRelative = " & VirtualPathUtility.IsAppRelative(pathstring1).ToString() & "<br />")
sb2.Append("Make AppRelative = " & VirtualPathUtility.ToAppRelative(pathstring1).ToString() & "<br />")
Response.Write(sb2.ToString())

Remarks

If the virtual path for the application is "myapp" and the virtual path "/myApp/sub/default.asp" is passed into the ToAppRelative method, the resulting application-relative path is "~/sub/default.aspx".

If virtualPath does not start with the current application path, the ToAppRelative method returns the virtual path unchanged.

If virtualPath is the same as the application path, the root operator (the tilde [~]), is returned. For example, the current application virtual directory path can be accessed from the AppDomainAppVirtualPath property.

public:
 static System::String ^ ToAppRelative(System::String ^ virtualPath, System::String ^ applicationPath);

public static string ToAppRelative (string virtualPath, string applicationPath);

static member ToAppRelative : string * string -> string

Public Shared Function ToAppRelative (virtualPath As String, applicationPath As String) As String

Parameters

Returns

The application-relative path representation of virtualPath.

Remarks

The ToAppRelative overload of the ToAppRelative method uses applicationPath rather than the current application path. If virtualPath does not start with applicationPath, the ToAppRelative method returns the virtual path unchanged.
