Redirection

[Nitinkcv]

Hi,

i have my app wherein i am redirecting to other pages from my code behind for eg:
Response.Redirect("\MyVirtualDirName\Admin.aspx").

However this is a bit tightly bound in the sense that if i were to change the name
of my virtual directory then the applicatio n would break.

So if there any other way to do this.. can it be done through the we.config.

Thanks

It should work.

Response.Redirect("~/admin.aspx");

Happy programming :)

Hi,
Ya thanks a lot.. however like i also have images whose path are being set using the virtual directory name. But if i use the ~ its not coming proper. Giving like:
images/ad.gif instead of /VirDirName/images/ad.gif works well for those files which are not inside any folders.

If some files are inside a folder and i were to give images/ad.gif then the images are not displayed properly.

Thankx.

<image src="images/ad.gif" />

Now use this only.

Probably it will work.

[Nitinkcv]

Hi,

i wuite didnt undrstand what u meant by freeze the folder.. could u explain a bit more plz?

Thanks

[leela mn]

hi,

alll my images are in one folder.. i think u didnt understand me..
The thing is all the pages which are in the same directory as tyhe images folder are properly linking with the images.. but i have the pages inside the admin folder are not..
Heirarchy:
Main folder: contains page1.aspx, page2.aspx, images folder and admin folder
admin folder: contains admin1.aspx, admin2 .aspx.

Problem: page1.aspx, page2.aspx are linking properly with the images inside the images folder . but the admin1.aspx, admin2 .aspx. are not linking properly with the images inside the images folder.

Hope this is clear.
Thanks

If the user is visiting your site they are at

~/webAppLocation/adminFolder/admin1.aspx.

To reach the images properly from admin1.aspx you'll have to use:

../images/imageName.jpg

This will bring you up one directory from the admin folder and then into the images folder.

Hi,

im using a common page which has images and their links. This page is used as the reference fo all other pages to display the images the images. ie page1.aspx ans well as admin1.aspx are referencing this common page to get the images.

So if in the src tag of the images i were to give ../images/imageName.jpg then would it properly link with both the page1.aspx and asmin1.aspx. Since the ../ would take it to one directory up, would it link with page1.aspx. I think it would link with admin1.aspx.

Thanks

use this syntax
<img src="/images/ad.gif" >

i.e. a root relative path, instead of 'document relative' or 'absolute path'

Hi,
no this too doesnt work

Funny, I do the same thing.
I have a website at
http://mywebsite/mywebmodule/default.aspx
which has folders:
admin/ (http://mywebsite/mywebmodule/admin/default.aspx)
user/ (http://mywebsite/mywebmodule/user/default.aspx)
images/ (where all my pictures sit)

I use this with no problem in all of my pages (regardles of the folder)
[html]
<asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/images/rxbanner.JPG" AlternateText="my alt text" />
[/html]

With that being said though, the ~ only applies when used in the .aspx page (the designer page) and not in C# code.
The ~ is a pre-compiler command that will get replaced at runtime with the url. It does not apply to the backend. (That means you cannot use it in Response.Redirect() calls)
I recomend you make some kinda global method or something that will return the begining url you want. Inside that method you can either "hard-code" the /MyVirtualDirectory/ or you can write up code devised to extract the virtual directory based upon the Request.Url
