It is System.Web.HttpServerUtility. Ahh, you are using this somewhere other than in a web form? You may have to add System.Web but try typing HttpServerUtility.MapPath to see if it resolves.

Try using the same syntax you are using for controls or other path references. I would also suggest putting a reference to this settings file somewhere in the app as a property so it only has to be accessed and read once.
