How to reference a file inside class library

Question

I have this code in my asp.net app:

String appPath = HttpContext.Current.Request.MapPath(HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath);

String path = appPath + "\\Database\\SAMPLE.BIN";

I want to movie it to a class library, which then will be referenced by multiple projects.

The thing is that HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath is referencing the running app and not the class lib.

How do I put the SAMPLE.BIN inside the class lib, so that I don't have to duplicate it in all referencing projects?

EDIT:

At the end I need to be able to:

myobject.DatabasePath = appRoot + "\\Database\\SAMPLE.BIN";

You have 2 choices:

Either you pass the value as a parameter to your new library:

public class MyNewLibrary {
  private string _path { get; set; }

  public MyNewLibrary(string path)
  {
      this.path = path;
  }
}

or you import the System.Web reference and use the HttpContext at will.
