Hello
I have a usercontrol (MenuBar.ascx)... Now i use this in all my pages (aspx)
en the root (OK!!!!)....
The problem is when i use this in others folders... It lost the links
(graphics, links,....) and i have errors......
What's the solution???? Do I need made the same usercontrol in each
folder?????
I used the usercontrol (menubar) like a template for all my pages (aspx)....
Is very hard put all aspx in the root....
Please help me....
 
Make the links in the user control always relative to the project root--e.g.
"~/images/myLogo.gif".

right... i use relative links.....
I the root by example:
/images/logo.gif
But when i use this usercontrol in a folder... the user control search:
/newFolder/images/logo.gif
And raise an error....
That's the error!!!!

Plese help me.... What should i do?
 
Use the literal "~" in your links per my example, which represents the
project root and means the search will always start at the top, no matter
where you put your user controls, pages, etc.

ok.
But the error now is:
http://localhost/DemoWeb/~/Images/mmc.gif

Mi VS.Net no understand the literal "~" en my link
The image is in:
http://localhost/DemoWeb/Images/mmc.gif

no exists the folder "~"
Click to expand...

~ only works in server controls (or more correctly, in any expression that
is processed on the server). So, for instance:
<img src="~/images/test.gif" runat="server">
or
<asp:Image ImageUrl="~/images/test.gif" runat="server">
will work.

<img src="~/images/test.gif">
will NOT work.

Of course you can also assign these values programmatically, or in a
databinding expression.
 
Thanks for all's inputs.

Hi Francisco,

I think Riki's suggestion is quite reasonable. The "~" char does maps to
Application root fo asp.net application, but it only works for serverside
control attributes bydefault. The clientside browser won't recognize this
char. As for programatically mapping "~/..." to clientside readable url, we
can use
Control.ResolveUrl method to do the translation.


#Control.ResolveUrl Method
