Hi,

In the solution explorer when I click on 'View In Browser' when I have right clicked on the root folder Index.aspx file, the URL I have in the browser is 'http://localhost:1999/Coding/Index.aspx'. 'Coding' is the folder my project is stored in. However this causes issues because then if I have the following HTML it doesn't recognise that the Images folder is inside the Coding folder because its not the root folder

 <img src="/Images/Logo.jpg" />

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks for your help

Curt.

 Visual Studio debugger doesnt use the same virtual path you app will end up using.

Try running your app from IIS and you will see everything works smooth.

Then, there are a couple solutions for what you're getting.

1. Dont use "/" to say root. Try to use relative paths whenever you can

2. From now on, you refer to the root as ~/ (in aspx pages)

I also think there's a way to  adjust this behaviour in VS but the behaviour you're getting is actually correct. It is also good to prepare your apps to run "from everywhere" in a directory structure.

Check IIS for your root folder. if Coding is a sub folder within that ,  please try whether this is working

<img src="../Coding/Images/Logo.jpg" />

Hi,

localhost:1999 is a virtual asp.net web server. It is executing the code in the same folder when u have kept ur project. Issue will be with the url of the images. If the images folder are outside ur code folder use src = "../images/logo.jpg" and if its withing ur code folder type src ="images/logo.jpg"

 basically all I'm asking is can localhost:1999/Coding change to localhost:1999 so that Coding is included making that the root folder?

no it cant since localhost is ur machine 1999 is port and Coding is the virtual directory. So it cant be changed If u reanme ur folder to something else then instead of coding that name will appear.

Also VS creates virtual directory since the actal localhost that is ur machine is reserved by IIS at port 80

 Okay thats a shame :/

Thanks anyway.
