I'm using following code in a class:

string tempPath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/temp/")

But getting following error (some time working):

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Server.MapPath is slow. Use HttpRuntime.AppDomainAppPath. As long as your web site is running, this property will be always available to you.

Use it like this:

string tempPath = Path.Combine(HttpRuntime.AppDomainAppPath, "/temp/");
