string path=Path.Combine(System.Web.HttpRuntime.AppDomainAppPath, "dataset.csv");

however none of them is working i couldnt read the data file , how can i read it ?

How about `Server.MapPath("~/dataset.csv");`? – DavidG Jul 09 '15 at 00:23 — DavidG, Jul 09 '15 at 00:23

Try using System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.MapPath() instead:

string path=System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.MapPath("~\\dataset.csv");

Oh, and a friendly ask: please search StackOverflow before posting questions - this has been asked and answered here
