How to access a file in the bin directory of my WCF service?

  • 772

I have a service that is responsible for sending emails with a template htmlas a base, which I try to read as shown below, so far I can not read it. My service is hosted on IIS 7.5

What I am trying to do is the following:

string path = System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/bin/Template/file.html");

text = File.ReadAllText(@path);

But pathit stays likenull

How could I access that file html?

In another attempt I tried to use the following but with the same result:

path = System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.ApplicationPhysicalPath;
c#

    to retrieve the folder where your service is running you should use reflection like this

    string path = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase);
