Sorry to post this again - I didn't use my MSDN alias previously...
I'm using a url rewriting mechanism to make my site's urls more
search-engine/user-friendly, so we have http://www.mysite.com/links/1023.apx
which is actually internally mapped to http://www.mysite.com/links.aspx?link=1023. This works fine and makes the
site look a lot cleaner.
The problem I'm having is with controls on the target page. I render all the
urls as root relative so that I'm independent of whether I'm a root web or
an application, so we have ~/images/img1.jpg for images and and
~/links/4096.aspx as a child link of 1023 for example.
The problem is that the ASP.NET controls convert my relative paths to
images/img1.jpg and links/4096.aspx, when evaluated these become http://www.mysite.com/links/images/img1.jpg and http://www.mysite.com/links/links/4096.aspx which of course don't exist.
Now interestingly, if I call ResolveUrl in the page on say ~/images/img1.jpg
I correctly get /images/img1.jpg. There's basically a different behaviour
between ResolveUrl and Control.Resolve Url.
I have a workaround, which is to make everything an absolute path, but it's
not very satisfactory since it makes demoing stuff to clients a pain - you
have to have a root web available rather than just creating an application
directory somewhere.
I'd call this a bug, since there should only be one implementation of
something like ResolveUrl.
Anyone else found this and have a better workaround?

Hi Paul,
Welcome to ASPNET newsgroup.
As for the problem you mentioned, I've also reproduced it on my side. Seems
there is something wrong with the Control when Render the certain Html Tag.
I'll consult some other experts on this to see whehter this issue is
already addressed and will let you know as soon as I get any update.
Thank you for your understanding.

I've been around since Beta2 of .NET 1.0, but been a bit quiet :-)
Thanks for the response.

Paul,
I've contacted the certain dev tester on this function and send them the
repro code, they're currently investigating on it. I'll update you as soon
as I got any feedback from them. Thanks,

Hi Paul,
As got from our DEV Tester, the problem is raised in the
Context.Rewrite Path method, so we're currently contacting the dev test of
that function to see whether they've any action plan on this. I just post
this message to let you know we're still keeping focus on this. Thanks for
your understanding.

Hi Paul,
Sorry for keep you waiting. After some further contacting with our dev/test
guys, they've addressed this problem as a known limitation of the current
ASP.NET(1.x).
In Whidbey, we introduced 2 new API to work around this problem:
public void RewritePath(Str ing path, bool rebaseClientPat h);
public void RewritePath(Str ing filePath, String pathInfo, String
queryString, bool setClientFilePa th);
So currently, we may need to manually call Control.Resolve Url to corrently
parse the relative path. Sorry for the inconvenience it brings you.

Can you give me an example of how you would do this in practice, i.e. does
this mean I need to create derived controls so that I can correctly override
the behaviour?

I'm confused about paths.
I have a functionn that uses the mappath method, which I think requires a
virtual path (is that the same as a relative path?).
But this doesn't always work as the path can take the form of the following:
1. /directory/images/xyz.gif (works fine)
2. http://localhost:1234/www.mytestwebsite.com/directory/images/xyz.gif
(doesn't work)
3. http:///www.someremotesite.com/directory/images/abc.gif (doesn't work)

Aside from the deaths of a few extra electrons to spell out the whole root

shouldn't make any difference, and it would make it much easier to slap
modualar blocks of markup into page frameworks, which may change and so
forth. And the few extra bytes, which even for a fairly large site would
not amount to as many bytes as are in a fairly small low-res image, should...
