you can use something like that : 

 public static class Extensions        {
        public static string RelativePath(this HttpServerUtility utility, string path, HttpRequest context)
        {
            return path.Replace(context.ServerVariables["APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH"], "/").Replace(@"\", "/");
        }
    }

and you call

Server.RelativePath(path, Request);
