ASP Coding and Style - Use MapPath
To aid portability in your scripts avoid using literal file paths in your code and use MapPath instead. There is a small performance penalty for this, as this method requires the web server to retrieve the current server path. Hence, it is recommended to call this once and place the result into a variable for referencing later where possible.
