The MapPath method

The ASP.NET Page object exposes the MapPath method, which converts a virtual path into a physical path, so it' is useful for passing arguments to objects that don't work with virtual paths: 

Dim sr As New System.IO.StreamReader(Me.MapPath("/data/values.dat"))

You can also use MapPath to retrieve information onabout the current ASP.NET application, for example as you see in this snippet: 

' The current directory 
Dim currDir As String = Me.MapPath(".")
' The parent directory
Dim parentDir As String = Me.MapPath("..")
' The root directory
Dim rootDir As String = Me.MapPath("/")
