How to reference "Root" site in ASP.NET


BryanHood

Recommended Posts

I am not sure if I should be asking this question here, or in the ASP forum, but here goes (I am using ASP.NET 2.0 / C# from Visual Studio 2005):I seem to be having problems calling pages/images/etc... by starting at the "Root" level of my web page.I have nested folders, and I seem to be having problems accessing things in other folders.Example (folder structure)

Root|+--Images|+--Tools     |    +--Tools Folder 1    |    +--Tools Folder 2

My "Root" has a Master Page that I call. This in turn calls an Image from the /Images folder.I have no problems calling pages, and using the Master if I am in the Tools Folder. I access those pages as "~/Images/<image>.gif"When I use my Master Page from a page located in "~/Tools/Tools Folder 1/<page>.aspx, I get the "Broken Image" icon.Is there a way for me to declare a "Base" reference, and base all of my calls off of that?Thank You, Bryan Clauss

Here is a page that is 2 levels deep. If I have a page that is only 1 level deep, it will work fine.The images in the Master have their source set to src="../images/Logo_Trans_white.gif". I tried to use "~/Images/...", but it would not work at all.I haven't tried to add code to the below page, but I am willing to bet that my CSS sheets won't pull.Thanks again!"Root" / Tools / Discrepancies / DiscrepAdd.aspx

<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="DiscrepApprove.aspx.cs" Inherits="Tools_Discrepancies_DiscrepApprove" Title="Untitled Page" %><%@ MasterType VirtualPath="~/MasterPage.master" %><asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder2" Runat="Server"></asp:Content>

If you want to save the base url and use it for every url, then try this, add this in the web.config file<configuration> <appSettings> <add key="BasePath" value="http://localhost/foldername/"/> </appSettings>And to get the value from Application's Configuration Settings, using System.Configuration;string aURL;aURL = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Get("BasePath");
