How to locate an image without entering the absolute path?

Image img = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("~/Content/images/SemFoto.jpg");

I tried several ways and could not capture the image without informing the absolute path. The code line above is in a action within a controller.

    I don’t understand. If you need to upload an image, you need to inform the physical path on the server.

  • You meant, "How to locate an image by informing the relative path instead of the absolute path"?

  • @Ciganomorrisonmendez need to pick up the image through the logical path from where the image is. Not the physical path referring to the disc.

    • Physical Path (Physical Path): is a path of the OS type that points to a path or file on the disk. * Logical path (Logical Path): is a web path that is relative to the server root.

  • Well, then @bigown’s answer is what you’re looking for.

  • @Gypsy omorrisonmendez Onesendai the response of the bigown solved. Thanks for the force.

I think this is what you want:

Image img = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(
           System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Content/images/SemFoto.jpg"));

Documentation.

There are some other ways to do this:

System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPath(path);

I put in the Github for future reference.

Documentation.

The exact way of use depends on how you need it.
