How do I get the application path in an ASP.NET application?

The Question

Retrieve the application path

string appPath = HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath;

This property returns the virtual application path.

An empty string indicates that the application is at the root of the website.

Other examples might be:

Convert virtual application path to a physical path

string physicalPath = HttpContext.Current.Request.MapPath(appPath);
