Get Base Directory of one project from another project's class

Question

I have two asp.net projects in one solution. One is WebForms and the another is a WebApi project.

I am trying to save an image in the root folder of the WebForms using a method in the WebApi. Unfortunately, I am unable to get the BaseDirectory of the WebForms from the WebApi method.

This is what I have tried:

//this returns me only the root folder of the API i.e; D:\Projects\MyApp\API\)
string basePath = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;

Is it possible to do what I am trying?

I guess you can navigate to you related app if it destination meet some folder tree position requirement using this:

string relativePath = "..\\Web\\";
string basePath = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;
string webPath = Path.GetFullPath(baseDirectory + relativePath);
