Question : directory access via relative path ?

I have a few lines of code that populate a gridview with the names of files in a folder (Architecture) on the C drive. Indeed, the gridview is populated with rows like:
C:\Architecture\minutes_01-23-2007.pdf

The path is specified in the line:
Dim dir As New DirectoryInfo("c:\Architecture")

I want to place the folder Architecture in the visual studio solution and access it via a relative path something like:
Dim dir As New DirectoryInfo("\Architecture")

Except I have not been able to specifiy the relative path in this later line so that the folder in the solution is accessed.

Help, please.

Server.MapPath() will do about the same thing in ASP.Net as Application.StartupPath does in WinForms.

Dim dir As New DirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath("~/Architecture"))
