i have seen examples where the ~ character is used in the web.config file
when storing directories.
eg: ~/files/data.xml
what does that character mean?

The tilde character represents the root of the web site. It automatically
starts you at the base folder.
So for example, if your folder structure was: c:\inetpub\wwwr oot\mysite
And inside of the site you had the folders:
pages
images
Normally if you were in the pages folder and needed to access an image you
would have to use "..":
<img src="../images/myimage.gif">
Of course if you had another folder inside of pages and you were in a file
there you'd need two sets of "..":
<img src="../../images/myimage.gif">
But using the tilde you automatically start at the root directory and don't
need to know how far back in the directory structure any folder is:
<img src="~/images/myimage.gif">

~/ means ApplicationRoot when you use Control.Resolve Url
(e.g. Image control use ResolveUrl to translate the url)

After I posted I realized that my example is a little misleading. I
shouldn't have used an image tag as the example.
The tilde character is translated by .net server side as starting in the
root directory. If you use the tilde in client side code a web browser won't
know what it means.
The example I gave is good for how the structure works but using a tilde
client side in the example I gave would of course produce a broken link.

Hi,
I know about mapping to the root directory , but you don't need the tilda to
do that.
you can just use:
/files/data.xml
instead of:
~/files/data.xml
so I was just wondering what the tilda actually did.

Hello suzy, so I was just wondering what the tilda actually did.
Think of the ~ as an alias for the virtual root.
So, for example, you have a web application that is accessible via: http://localhost/virtRoot1/Test.aspx
and in test.aspx, you have
<asp:HyperLin k NavigateUrl="~/Test2.aspx"/>
the ~ would translate into /virtRoot1
I hope this clears things up...

Hi,
'C' says \ is the escape character to be used when characters are
to be interpreted in an uncommon sense, e.g. \t usage in printf(),
but for printing % through printf(), i have read that %% should be used.
Wouldn't it have been better (from design perspective) if the same
escape character had been used in this case too.
Forgive me for posting without verfying things with any standard
compiler, i don't have the means for now.
