Development and production url address setting in asp.net project

[RA]

Hi

I use asp.net for the wen server development which includes mostly asp.net
pages and some html pages.
How can I put the url address when I use the development - it goes to
localhost - so that it will work also when I put the files on the web host.
I am looking for a way so I won't need to change the url path from
localhost.webpage.com to www.webpage.com. Is there a way of doing that or
will I need to change all the aspx and html links to url soon as I move the
project to the web host?


Thanks

make your links relative to the root.

How would you do it in html page?

make your links relative to the root.

he's suggesting that you make your hyperlinks or redirects to
"somepage.aspx" rather than "http://localhost/myproject/somepage.aspx" or
"http://www.mylivesite.com". In many cases, it will then work in both
environments.

Alternatively, you could store the current url (http://localhost/myproject
or http://www.mylivesite.com) in your web.config file. Each site would have
its own value. You could then programatically get the URL and concantenate
it onto your links/redirects.

Good luck.

Mark,

I personally like later approach.
Even there is nothing wrong with relative links (it is looks cleaner and
less traffic )
but some search engine robots like full links. Also, some browsers don't
like relative links...

How would you do it in htm files?
