Sett absolute path problem

Hello guys,

I have a small problem with setting the absolute path of an image.
Here is the scenario:

I need to put the image in a text concat something like this:

<asp:Label id = "lbl" runat = "server" text = "<img id = 'img' src =
'Images/picture.gif' /text " />

If I put a relative path everything is perfect, but if I try an
absolute path it is not working.
I have already tried:

<asp:Label id = "lbl" runat = "server" text = "<img id = 'img' src =
'/Images/picture.gif' /text " />
<asp:Label id = "lbl" runat = "server" text = "<img id = 'img' src =
'~/Images/picture.gif' /text
runat = 'server' " />

It seems like an easy thing to do but I cannot make it work.

Thanks for the help...

'~/Images/picture.gif' will look for picture.gif in
'<rootweb>\Imag es\picture.gif'

In case, if you are using a virtual directory set up, your image will
actually be in '<rootweb>\<vir tual directory>\imag es\picture.gif' .

Hope this helps.

Augustin

Thank you for your interest and for the reply.

The problem is that if I put :

Text="<img id='img1' runat = 'server' src = '~/Images/picture.gif' />
Text"

and if I look in View Source in IE I can see that it doesn't put any
path at all:

Text="&lt;img id = 'img1' src='~/Images/picture.gif' alt='' runat =
'server' /&gt; Text"

And if I put the realtive path it understands the path corectly.

Any ideas?

Lets say that my web site is on localhost and has the virtual directory
MyWebSite.

Of course if I set the path src '
"http://localhost/MyWebSite/Images/picture.gif" it is working.
But I was wondering if there isn't a better way to do this.

it will not put any path if you use '~\Images'. It knows where to look for..

Can you try putting in '..\Images\pict ure.gif' and tell me if this works?

Augustin

If I put '..\Images\pict ure.gif' it works.

But the img is in a user control and it is used in 2 pages.
And depending on the page that it is used I need to have as path
'..\Images\pict ure.gif' and '..\..\Images\p icture.gif'. So I cannot
really used a relative path. :)

in this case, you can use ~\Request.Appli cationPath\Imag es\Picture.gif. . you
can set this from code behind.. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much for the solution offered.
But I would rather not put the path from code-behind if possible (it is
really difficult to do this in my situation).
Is there other solution (from HTML) ??
Sorry for so many questions here...

If you realy need this weird construction, you can use data-binding:

<asp:Label ID="MyLabel" Text="<%# "<img src='" +
ResolveUrl("~/images/myImage.gif") + "' alt='xxx' />" %>" runat="server" />

....and don't forget to call MyLabel.DataBin d() or Page.DataBind() form code.

It seems it is hopeless.. In the situation that I am having I cannot
use server directives to set the path.
To detail a little bit more the control in which I want to put the
image is not a label,
but the atlas control expandable panel and it doesn't allow me to put
server code.

Thanks for the help everybody anyway.

Hi All, I got a challenge to make the same APS/Script/Html run on different web roots. I can not use relative pathing in a lot of cases.

Example: Instead of Mappath("../../../_scripts/menu/mymenuscript.js") we use mappath("/_scripts/menu/mymenuscript.js"). In one case, the code is...

Greetings: What is the best way to resolve paths within a document regardless of what path it is opened under?

With absolute paths, this isn't an issue but it is with relative...
