How to know the Physical Application Path in Window Azure?

Question

We have a .Net 2.0 Site and we are moving it to a Windows Azure Website.

Our site needs some config parameters (via web.config > appSettings). One of them is the physical address (For example: \boswinfs05\home\users\web\b2614\whl.clientname\ or d:\sites\single57\clientname\webroot).

In our actual hosting we get it in the Panel Control but I can´t find it in the Azure Portal.

Someone knows how to get it in Azure Portal?

Answer 1

You never know it before your site is actually deployed and run.

You can get it runtime and initialize static property of some class during Application_Start event. I believe your web site does nothing before Application_Start.
