Cannot add image to PDF file using PDFsharp

I am using ASP.NET application and I am trying to add a logo to PDF file and when I am not showing the full path, it says that the logo.png does not exist.

I have tried to add this picture in many ways, but nothing except full path is working.

This is my code:

const string PngSamplePath = "/web_images/logo.png";
XImage image = XImage.FromFile(PngSamplePath);
gfx.DrawImage(image, 220, 120, 50, 50);

FromFile waits for a full path of the logo.

So you must use MapPath to resolve your relative path (~/web_images/logo.png) to full path.

ASP.NET MVC1 -> MVC3

string path = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/web_images/logo.png");

ASP.NET MVC4

string path = Server.MapPath("~/web_images/logo.png");

now path become i.e: : C\MyApplication\web_images\logo.png

and then:

XImage image = XImage.FromFile(path)

It's hard to say without seeing your directory, however you can always just point to the root of your apps directory using the tilde (~) and build from there.

"~/your/file/path.png"
