Getting to the root directory??

[Modica82]

Hi all,

I have a very silly question. I am trying to show images from a user control that will be used my all pages which sit in different folders.

i.e. image src: /images/img1.gif

The problem is the location is not going to the root, it is going to the localhost root?? So instead of the location above being represented by:

http://localhost/website/images/img1.gif

i am getting

http://localhost/images.img1.gif

have i missed something, a setting in IIS?? how can i get to the root all the time from a user control? or anything for that matter.

Please help, i am stumped.

Use Server.MapPath and write the path to the image directory

Hi ca8msm,

I cant use server.mappath these are just images and i want to do is set the src for those images within a user control, and for those images to appear regardless of what page the user control is (different folders and different variations of folder depth, but same header).

Anyone have any ideas??

And why won't Server.MapPath work for that scenario?
