There s  however  slight difference among all these options which  I found out that   If you do      string URL   Server MapPath         or      string URL   Server MapPath         or      string URL   HttpRuntime AppDomainAppPath    your URL will display resources in your link like this        file    d  InetPUB HOME Index bin Resources HandlerDoc htm    But if you want your URL to show only virtual path not the resources location  you should do      string URL   HttpRuntime AppDomainAppVirtualPath     then  your URL is displaying a virtual path to your resources as below        http   HOME Index bin Resources HandlerDoc htm
