pointing to the outside folder

Hi, I need to point to the folder that is outside of the root directory. For example, if my project name is SWB and it is located in SWB folder I need to point to the folder that is outside of SWB folder. Can I use Server.MapPath for that? Thanks!

You could set this folder up in IIS as a virtual directory within your website.

What web server are you using to host your ASP.NET application if you're not using IIS?

You are confusing a web development tool with a web server. Visual Web Developer 2005 is a web development tool that allows you to create ASP.NET website. When you come to deploy your website to a production environment, you would need to install a web server such as IIS to host your website. IIS would be the obvious choice as it is a Microsoft product and has features specifically designed for running ASP.NET websites.
