.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / August 2007Debug mode path is not from root
When I go into debug mode and the web page I am working on opens in the browser via the local Cassini Web Server I get a path appended onto the full path e.g. localhost:7859/FolderName/filename_that_should_be_in_the_root.aspx this is a pain as I do my links from the root e.g. /css/site.css and the additional folder in the path stops that. Is there any way to get the site in debug mode to show localhost:7859/filename_that_should_be_in_the_root.aspx Regards, Chris.

Because you'll never know the deployment url might change you need to write your code agnostig of the deployment location. If you have urls in controls (NavigateToUrl, PostBackUrl, ImageUrl etc) you can use the ~/ notation to specify the application root. The same goes for certain urls in the head section of a website (stylesheet links are among those I believe). You can also put your css files in a theme (put them in a folder called App_Themes\ThemeName) and set the theme in the Pages tag of the web.config. All pages will automatically load all css files in the specified themes directory. Should you ever need to change the look & feel of the pages you can just change teh contents of the theme directory and all pages will automatically load then new stylesheets. Jess This is what I am doing. Say my website project sits in a folder called MyProject and I have a css file in a folder css/mystyles.css I would put the link as href="/css/mystyles.css" However when I press F5 and go into debug mode the root from the localhost becomes localhost:7859/MyProject/css/mystyles.css which makes my link stop work when in debug mode. It's fine on the live server. Is there some setting somewhere as it seems so easy to break any pathing from the root.

But appart from that. Have you tried settign teh path to your CSS file to ~/css/mystyles.css This should expand the path to the correct oen each and every time, regardless of where you're going to deploy it. (You might need to add runat="server" to the <head> tag to make this work. You could also try the Themes feature I pointed you to earlier. It's better to cure the desease than to treat it's symptom in my opinion.
