Server is not recognized there because the class is not part of a webpage, so what should i do ?

System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("YourFieName")

Use the following code //Gets the physical path of the application directory string path = System.Web.HttpRuntime.AppDomainAppPath; //Return the file names in the application folder string[] myFiles = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(path);

You can use Server.MapPath(.) to retrive current directory of you website.
