server.MapPath in c# mvc

Question

Hi I have an application which works fine when i run it using visual studio, I am saving employee name , photo and email it works fine and save the file to the directory in my project -->employee Photo Folder , Now when I deploy this application to IIS ( i have checked to put the published folder on DESKTOP as well as in wwwroot

folder as well .

 

but when saving the record from the deployed application it did not get saved and i am unable to debug as it is deployed as per my understanding server.MAPPATH does not work on iss

 

below is the code which works fine with visual studio

if (upload != null && upload.ContentLength > 0 && upload.ContentLength < 41943040)
{
var avatar = new File
{
FileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(upload.FileName),
FileType = FileType.Avatar,
ContentType = upload.ContentType
};
File fl = new File();
fl.FileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(upload.FileName);
string pic = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(upload.FileName);
string path = System.IO.Path.Combine(
Server.MapPath("~/StudentPhotos/"), pic);
var allowedExtensions = new[] {
".jpg", ".png", ".jpeg", ".gif", ".svg"
};
// check file is empty or not
if (upload != null)
{
// check the bytes of file is greater than 0
if (upload.ContentLength > 0)
{
// get the uploaded file extension
string ext = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(upload.FileName).ToLower();
// check the file extension is valid or not
if (allowedExtensions.Contains(ext))
{
// replace name for uniquness and add ext
//this below line generate new name of file
string name = upload.FileName.ToLower();
// this line is for make path to save in databaseget un
string rootpath = "/StudentPhotos/"; //in ur case it makes like /ProfileImages/Logo.jpg
//this below code is save file in folder
// this line makes ABSOLUTE path like E://someFolder/someOtherFolders/filename.ext
// because file is saved into physical address
string s = System.IO.Path.Combine(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(rootpath), name);
// finally this line copy paste the image to s path
upload.SaveAs(s);
student.Student_photo = "~/StudentPhotos/" + name;
}
}
}
}
else
{
ModelState.AddModelError("", errorMessage: "you cannot add file having size more than 40 MB ");
return View();
}
