I'm working with DotNetNuke's scheduler to schedule tasks and I'm looking to get the physical file path of a email template that I created. The problem is that HttpContext is NULL because the scheduled task is on a different thread and there is not http request. How would you go about getting the file's physical path?

System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPath is what you're looking for. Whenever you're using the Server or HttpContext.Current objects, check first to see if HostingEnvironment has what you need.
