Relative path from Service website to Azure Cloud Service

Question

I have an Azure Cloud service with a WCF web role. I am trying to access a file in App_Data and I do not want to hardcode the path. I tried using:

System.Web.HostingEnviroment.MapPath("~/App_Data/myfile");

as well as enabling aspNetCompatibilityEnabled and using Server.MapPath()

but both paths return:

d: \ Windows \ system32 \ Inetsrv \ App_Data \ MyFile

Actual file location:

E: \ sitesroot \ 0 \ App_Data \ MyFile

Is there any way to access this file that does not have hard-coding paths?
