small doubt regarding ResolveURL

[SandyIsCool]

Hi

I used the below code for an image button


image1.imageurl="~/images/image1.jpg";
image1.imageurl=Page.ResolveUrl("~/images/image1.jpg");


Both statements work fine..
I want to see a case where resolveURL method makes a difference.
Thanks,
Sandeep

Sandy,

ResolveUrl is very useful when you need to move applications from one server
to another, where the directory structure might be completely different.

If you have a server with a virtual application /Foo :

image1.imageurl=Page.ResolveUrl("~/images/image1.jpg");
will return "/Foo/images/image1.jpg"

If you have a server with a virtual application /Bar :

image1.imageurl=Page.ResolveUrl("~/images/image1.jpg");
will return "/Bar/images/image1.jpg"

Notice that the *same* code resolves different base URLs,
even though the *relative* URLs are identical.

Hi Juan,
thanks for the quick reponse.

But ("~/images/image1.jpg) still can be assigned to imageurl without
using resolving url function. As I said
image1.imageurl="~/images/image1.jpg";
image1.imageurl=Page.ResolveUrl("~/images/image1.jpg");

both work fine. ~ also works without resolveURL function.

Thanks,
Sandeep
