Hi.

I need to be able to access a public code behind variable within my ASPX
page. The reason is that I have a user control "Header" which defines a
table layout, and is included in all my pages, at various levels in the
website heirarchy. The table requires a background image. My images folders
is at the root of the website, effectively "~/images/". I need the
background image to show whether I at a page in the root of my website or in
some other directory a few folders down. Normally, I could just write
"~/images/image.jpg" if I was in a code behind file, but I cannot use this
syntax in the ASPX page. So, I have a "VirtualRoot" public variable declared
in my Header.cs file, and this variable is assigned Request.ApplicationPath
on the Page_Load event. This will give me the appropropriate path to prefix
/images/image.jpg. But I cannot remember how to access this variable from
the ASPX page. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
Ryan
