How to get Current.Server.MapPath?

I'm using MVC.I want to save xml file inside the services class. so wrote this one.

string path = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath((Url.Content("~/client-authentication.xml")));

but there is error and it says

'System.Security.Policy.Url' does not contain a definition for 'Content'

How to solve it?? How can I give the path??

Is this code in your view(.cshtml) or controller(.cs)?

if cshtml, you can write "string path = Url.Content(...)" directly, no need Server.MapPath.

if controller, just Server.MapPath(...), no need Url.Content.

PS, you can also use AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory to retrive physical path of your site root.

This is the wrong Url class. You want the System.MVC.Web.UrlHelper instance called Url which is a property provided on MVC controllers.
