Does the code use MapPath?

Posted on 02:40 by Unknown
Review code for the use of MapPath. MapPath should be used to map the virtual path in the requested URL to a physical path on the server to ensure that cross-application mapping is not allowed.

The application should not contain code similar to the following example.

string mappedPath = Request.MapPath( inputPath.Text, Request.ApplicationPath);

Instead, the application should contain code similar to the following.

try
{

string mappedPath = Request.MapPath( inputPath.Text, Request.ApplicationPath, false);
}

catch (HttpException)
{
// Cross application mapping attempted.
}

If you use a custom host, such as a Windows service, you can use only the workstation garbage collector. The HttpChannel also enables you to load balance components hosted in IIS.
