[RESOLVED] Question about paths

[Nitesh]

hi Guys,

I save the path of where a users profile image is stored in my database

~/Profile/Images/stig1.jpg

now in my code behind I create anchor controls dynamically and set the src attribute:

Dim imgStatusImage As HtmlGenericControl = New HtmlGenericControl("img")
                        imgStatusImage.ClientIDMode = UI.ClientIDMode.Static
                        imgStatusImage.ID = String.Format("img{0}", r.Field(Of Integer)("CommentID"))
                        imgStatusImage.Attributes.Add("src", UserProfile.ImageURL)

I am currently in the directory called Wall/Wall.aspx. Profile is one directory up. If i use ../Profile/Images/stig1.jpg it works. I would have though asp.net would resolve the url when I use the tilde ~. How can I make this work using the ~

try with Page.ResolveUrl(UserProfile.ImageURL)

thanks riteshjain1982,

that works I need to do this in page methods as well. Unfortunately I can't use Page.ResolveURL within a page method. Any ideas

also how can i use it in this aspx markup

<img class="Pic" id="ProfilePic" src='<%(# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ImageURL") %>'>

ok for the p[agemethods I did this inside the function:

Dim p As Page = DirectCast(HttpContext.Current.Handler, System.Web.UI.Page)

I just need to figure out the markup now

[riteshjain1982]

something like this:

<img class="Pic" id="ProfilePic"  src='<&#37;# Page.ResolveUrl(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ImageURL"))%>' />

thanks you. works like a charm

[riteshjain1982]

you are welcome

thanks you. works like a charm

The only thing that I would say to this is...

Why do you need to do this work in the ASPX markup? That is server side code, and you should put it where it belongs. On the server side, IMHO.
