I am trying to get the path to a folder in my website root and save it to a class property when my controller constructor is called:

```
public TestController:Controller{
    string temp;

    public TestController(){
        temp = "";
        }

    }

```

I have tried the following:

```
temp = Server.MapPath("~/TheFolder/"); // Server is null - error.
temp = Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + @"TheFolder\"; // Request is null - error.

```

Any ideas?
