Using ~/ path for to link a CSS page?

[Lance Wynn]

Hello all,
Is there a way to use the ~/ path to link a CSS page?

I thought maybe something like this would work, but no go:
<link href="~/style.css" rel="stylesheet " type="text/css"/>

Is this possible to do with the link element?

Thanks

~ is filled in by a routine in WebControl (GetClientPath( ) I think. If not,
it is close). The link is not attached to a control. YOu can code your own
implementation of link that use the routine to covnert ~. Otherwise, you
cannot use ~ to represent route.

If you use href="/style.css" it refers to a stylesheet resided in the
root folder of an application
disregarding of position of the parent page in a website hierarchy.
IMHO, no need to convert the stylesheet link to a server control, a
leading slash "/" for HTML elements do the same as "~/" for web/HTML
controls.

Just to add, if you're refering to Master pages then a Link tag within the
Head section gets resolved before being combined with its content page so
"style.css" should work in your case (also link tags within conditional
comments - thanks Steven). I've just read "ASP.Net 2.0 - Master Pages:
Tips, Tricks, and Traps" by K. Scott Allen
(http://odetocode.com/Articles/450.aspx) which is a great article on the
subject.

Hope that helps.

Best regards

John

Adding runat="server" should do it:
<link href="~/style.css" rel="stylesheet " type="text/css" runat="server" />

That will work for a production server where the root of the
application is http://www.company.com.
It will fail on your development box where you want to use
http://localhost/CompanyDevSite

The ~ syntax (when used correctly) will work in both cases.

You are right, I completely forgot this aspect.
Perhaps, I became too spoilt by VS 2005 using http://localhost:1720/
instead of http://localhost/MySite/ :)

Another option is to place the stylesheet in the site theme folder. It will
be then automatically referenced from your pages...

hi,

here is some code from my MasterPage:
......
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">

<div id="main-header" class="box">
<img src="Tema/banner.bmp" alt=""/>
......

i have a "Tema" folder at root directory containing MasterPage and
banner.bmp.
* when i use this code, VS indicates that banner file is missing but at
debug time web browser shows the image, the result is ok.
* when i write there ="~/Tema/banner.bmp", VS says ok but browser says image
missing where it shows the address "localhost/website/~/Tema/banner.bmp"
* when i show the image by vs gui, the code apperas as
src="../Tema/banner.bmp", image is still missing and browser shows the
address "localhost/Tema/banner.bmp"

can anybody who understands the "~" operator, describes this?

The tilde (~) is server-side notation, not client-side notation...

That is why something like: <img src="~/Tema/banner.bmp" alt=""/can never
work...

However, <img src="~/Tema/banner.bmp" alt="" runat="server" /will work...
