Hello,

How can I get the current directory of Web Service?
Usually my Web services are under Inetpub directory.

I would like to write trace file into that place.
If I try to trace e.g. C:\Temp directory I usually havenät got
permissions to write the trace file.

So, do I have special Permissions for wrting trace file from Web Service or
can I query Web Service's default Assemply location and write there?

Cheers

Please don't cross-post. Post in a single newsgroup.

Just like any other process, the process running your web service needs
appropriate permissions to access any file system resource. It does not
necessarily have any special permissions to the directory its assembly lives
in.

You can try Request.PhysicalApplicationPath and see if that works for you.
You then have to make sure you have rights to write there.

Some typos from keyboard ...
But code

string AppPath = HttpContext.Current.Request.PhysicalApplicationPat h;

works well,

Cheers
