In situations where ~/... can't be used, e.g., client script, just use the
simple relative path. So instead of using, say, /myapp/images/logo.gif just
specify images/logo.gif.

Subject: [DOTNET-WEB] VS.NET, Default Web Site, and relative paths...

Morning all.

I am developing a website in VS.NET 2005 on an XP machine and by
default it has created the site under the Default Web Site on the
local machine.  When I run my app within VS.NET or browse it mnually I
find it at the following address:

http://localhost/myapp/default.aspx

Within my application I reference other pages using the syntax
"/myapp/blah/blah/blah" - (such as the main menu at the root, the
images folder, and various other shared resources).

This works fine locally and in the development stages, but when in
production the website will not live under a /myapp folder from the
Default Web Site root - it will be a new website.

This causes a problem with referencing the site root as "/myapp".

I'd like to find a solution that works in both situations without
making any code changes when I put the site into production.

Any help or thoughts appreciated.

Cheers,

Ben
