Server.MapPath from a vb class

I've used this a bit from codebehind with no problems, but now I'm
having some issues when I try to use it from a vb class in my application.
Looking in help, it looks like I need to do something like this:

dim Server As HttpServerUtility
Dim path As String = Server.MapPath("myfile.txt")

--

But any time I use that Server variable I get a null refrence exception.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

MattYou have to use httpcontext to get the server object when you are on a
class. Hope this helps

Don't write "dim Server As HttpServerUtility"
just
Dim path As String = Server.MapPath("myfile.txt")

Yep. HttpContext.Current to be exact. Thanks!

Great, I had the same problem, HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath works
perfect!
