To check whether image file exist or not

string serverPath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/web" + event.Image_Url);
var isFileExist = File.Exists(serverPath);

The value of event.Image_Url = /Resources/images/event-images/e1ae04a2-e63f-4831-a5ee-2f0d2713f8a2.png

But it always gives false even though the file exist on the physical path.The physical path which it comes from above operation as shown below.

serverPath value = D:\Freelance Work\Trunck\Api\web\Resources\images\event-images\e1ae04a2-e63f-4831-a5ee-2f0d2713f8a2.png

But actually I need to go to the web folder.But it automatically gets the Api folder as shown above.How to avoid it ? Why it takes the Api folder ? Any help would be highly appreciated.

Note : I have noticed that the web api project is also running on local host.May be that is the reason for it.But how can I tell it to get the virtual path from the web project ?

Folder structure within Trunck as follows.All are in same level. 

Trunck --> API

       --> Web

       --> BLL

The problem was the / at the start of the event.Image_Url field. That caused the last path in the string to be taken as a absolute path.

string serverPath = Path.Combine
                    ( HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~")
                    , @"..\web\"
                    , @event.Image_Url.TrimStart('/').Replace('/', '\\')
                    );

I think you need to try string path= Server.MapPath("~/web"), serverPath =Path.Combine(path,event.Image_Url) instead of string serverPath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/web" + event.Image_Url);
