Re: Getting the application path

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance


Use a relative path beginning with a tilde and a slash :

The tilde ( ~ ) stands for the application's root directory.

"~/login.aspx" will always refer to a login.aspx located in
the application's root, no matter what the domain name is.

You can use the same reference for subdirectories :

"~/subdir/newpage.aspx" refers to a page named "newpage.aspx"
which is located in the "/subdir" subdirectory of your App.
