How to get working path of a wcf application?

Get current System.Web.UI.Page from HttpContext?
No, from MSDN on HttpContext.Current: “Gets or sets the HttpContext object for the current HTTP request.” In other words it is an HttpContext object, not a Page. You can get to the Page object via HttpContext using: Page page = HttpContext.Current.Handler as Page; if (page != null) { // Use page instance. }
How to access the HttpServerUtility.MapPath method in a Thread or Timer?
It’s possible to use HostingEnvironment.MapPath() instead of HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath() I haven’t tried it yet in a thread or timer event though.

Mock HttpContext.Current in Test Init Method
HttpContext.Current returns an instance of System.Web.HttpContext, which does not extend System.Web.HttpContextBase. HttpContextBase was added later to address HttpContext being difficult to mock. The two classes are basically unrelated (HttpContextWrapper is used as an adapter between them). Fortunately, HttpContext itself is fakeable just enough for you do replace the IPrincipal (User) and IIdentity. The following code … Read more
Setting HttpContext.Current.Session in a unit test
You can “fake it” by creating a new HttpContext like this: http://www.necronet.org/archive/2010/07/28/unit-testing-code-that-uses-httpcontext-current-session.aspx I’ve taken that code and put it on an static helper class like so: public static HttpContext FakeHttpContext() { var httpRequest = new HttpRequest(“”, “http://example.com/”, “”); var stringWriter = new StringWriter(); var httpResponse = new HttpResponse(stringWriter); var httpContext = new HttpContext(httpRequest, httpResponse); var … Read more
