In a module I have uploaded Some Images which is stored in My Server's D directory. Now I want to Access it from asp.net Code but it display a error message as : "asp.net is a physical path but a virtual path was expected" . How Can I access my image from This Scenario. Please help me.... My Code is as follows..

ImageButton lnkbtn = sender as ImageButton;

       GridViewRow gvrow = lnkbtn.NamingContainer as GridViewRow;
       string fileName = grvImpact.DataKeys[gvrow.RowIndex].Values[3].ToString();
       string filePath = "D://Upload//CRDocument//" + fileName.ToString();

       if (fileName != null)
           {
           Response.ContentType = "image/jpg";
           Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=\"" + filePath + "\"");
           Response.TransmitFile(filePath);
           Response.End();

Lets say you have

URL

www.mydomain.com/D/images/MyMegaImage.jpg

File System

c:\inetpub\mywebsite\wwwroot\D\images\MyMegaImage.jpg

in code you would have something like

string imageFileName = "MyMegaImage.jpg";
string FullFilePath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/D/images/" + imageFileName);

then the variable FullFilePath should be computed in "c:\inetpub\mywebsite\wwwroot\D\images\MyMegaImage.jpg"

Use Server.MapPath for specifying the relative or virtual path to map to a physical directory.

string FilePath;
FilePath = Server.MapPath("/MyWebSite");
