How to get full file path of FilePathResult file in asp.net mvc 3?

I want to get last modification date of the file that is returned by action method. I think I need a full file path. FilePathResult has property FileName.

Does this property return full file path or just a name? If so, can I somehow obtain full path to that file?

Thanks!

It returns the full path to the file. Example:

[MyActionFilter]
public ActionResult Index()
{
    return File(Server.MapPath("~/web.config"), "text/xml");
}

and then:

public class MyActionFilterAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
    public override void OnActionExecuted(ActionExecutedContext filterContext)
    {
        var fileResult = filterContext.Result as FilePathResult;
        if (fileResult != null)
        {
            // here you will get the full absolute path to the file,
            // for example c:\inetpub\wwwroot\MvcApplication1\web.config
            string fileName = fileResult.FileName;
        }
    }
}
