adress of project folder

[Jarod_24]

I got a function that return the url of a image, the problem is that the image control on the .aspx page automaticaly adds the
adress of itself to the adress

Example:
The page http://localhost/myapp/pages/misc/index.aspx calls the function, and it returns the string "images\thumb\001.jpg"

The image control on the page will then point to the adress: http://localhost/myapp/pages/misc/images\thumb\001.jpg (wich is wrong).

The image folder is located at root of my project (myapp) so the adress should be: http://localhost/myapp/images\thumbs\001.jpg

Since the pages could be in different sub-folders at different levels under the myapp folder i can't simply add "..\..\..\" to fix
it.

Is there any function that will return the http://localhost/myapp (the rootof my project folder)?
I tried using System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory() but that will return the path as "c:\inetwww\myapp\"

You can use Request.Url, or set an app value in Web.Config.

Don't forget that the tilde (~) is resolved as the root of the Web. That
means you can get at the images folder from anywhere using syntax like this:

Image1.ImageUrl = "~/images/thumbs/001.jpg"

Thanks. That worked like a charm.
Just added a "~/" at the start of the string.
