Outputs the following incorrect URL path in the Preview 2 release of the MVC framework:

<img  src="/AppBaseContent/Images/test.gif"  alt="test.gif"  />

Note the missing directory separator between the /AppBase and the Content directory. If I remember correctly I believe this was a problem in the MVCToolkit code... It must have been ported over to the Preview 2 release.

The ugly workaround is to put an extra path separator in the relative url path:

<%= Html.Image("~//Content/Images/test.gif") %>

lol.

I don't believe this.

From reflector: LinkExtensions

internal static string ResolveUrl(HtmlHelper helper, string virtualUrl)
{
    HttpContextBase httpContext = helper.ViewContext.HttpContext;
    string str = virtualUrl;
    if (!virtualUrl.StartsWith("~/", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
    {
        return str;
    }
    virtualUrl = virtualUrl.Remove(0, 2);
    string applicationPath = httpContext.Request.ApplicationPath;
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(applicationPath))
    {
        applicationPath = "/";
    }
    return (applicationPath + virtualUrl);
} 

This should obviously be if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(applicationPath) || !applicationPath.EndsWith("/"))

JeremyS:

Its also sad to see that ResolveUrl is now internal rather than public

I just tried porting to Preview 2 and this one has bitten me.

After changing my references and updating the code, it's my ONLY compiler error. HtmlHelper does not contain a definition for ResolveUrl.

I have no idea why they made it internal. When we get the source this is one of the first things i'm changing.

Finally, got it to work with virtual path in asp.net mvc here is the code:

I have a virtuel folder  'download/documents' and filesave puts it there. Not c:\myuploadedfiles

  public void SaveDocuments()
        {
            
            HttpPostedFile file = Request.Files["filPhoto"];
            _global_file = file;
            if (file.ContentLength > 0)
            {
                string patNekoj = HttpContext.Request.MapPath("../download/documents");

                string filePath = Path.Combine(patNekoj, Path.GetFileName(file.FileName));
               
               
               
                
                file.SaveAs(filePath);
               
            }
            RenderView("Upload");
         
        }
