How to get the virtual path to where WCF is hosted on IIS rather than the physical path?

Question

I have a WCF Service hosted on IIS server, however i try to get the path to which the service is hosted on the IIS, that is similar to: 192.168.1.xx/WCFHosted/VirtualDirectory, by using the below code:

System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.ApplicationPhysicalPath

The above returns a path to the Physical path corresponding to where the IIS Hosted WCF is originally linked from, that is Ex: D/MyService/WCFHosted,

How can i return the IIS Hosted path for the WCF,

Please Advise, Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

Try the below code snippets.

System.Environment.MachineName+"/" + System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.SiteName +System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.ApplicationVirtualPath;

We can convert the Machine name to an IP address by using DNS.GetHostAddress(hostname) method.

var result = Dns.GetHostAddresses(Environment.MachineName).ToList();
            foreach (var item in result)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(item);
            }

Feel free to let me know if there is anything I can help with.
