I have hosted one site in IIS and ran the application. I have one exe which performs operation after reading the entries from MSMQ. So basically application add the task in MSMQ and exe reads that task and executes it.

I have one separate dll also in that dll I am preparing some href link of html dynamically. For doing this I need server dns and hosted sitename.

Ex: http://localhost/mysite/login.aspx from this url I need only http://localhost/mysite.

I am using this custom dll in one of task that exe executes.

Now the problem is I don't know how to get dns and site name because custom dll won't have HttpContext.Current object.

Use GetHostEntry together with GetHostName to get the DNS host name of the machine on which you make the call.

var hostname = Dns.GetHostEntry(Dns.GetHostName()).HostName;

To get the IIS virtual directory, follow the directions explained in the OS post How to get the IIS virtual dir & web application's physical paths with C# code:

ServerManager serverManager = new ServerManager();

// get the site (e.g. default)
Site site = serverManager.Sites.FirstOrDefault(s => s.Name == "Default Web Site");

// get the application that you are interested in
Application myApp = site.Applications["/Dev1"];

// get the physical path of the virtual directory
Console.WriteLine(myApp.VirtualDirectories[0].PhysicalPath);

  • this will get me the hostname, but how I will get the virtual directory name of application which is hosted in IIS? – Mukund Apr 14 '16 at 10:28

You look for that asp.net function

GetHostEntry(string hostNameOrAddress)

There are also other commercial libraries that contains similar functions like aspNetDns that I prefer.

I'm not sure I fully understood your problem, but what about to save URL you need in PATH on server and read it in your DLL?

  • How this is logical ? "I don't understand the problem but here is the answer..." and programming is about logic – Aristos Apr 14 '16 at 09:43
  • You should use comment section if you need more information on question, and should write the answer when you have one. – Afnan Apr 14 '16 at 10:40
