For example I have site http://localhost/site
In IIS I set that 404 error causes redirection to default.aspx
If I type something like http://localhost/site/nodirectory , (there are no such folder) all works perfectly.

But if I only add slah at end http://localhost/site/nodirectory/, page can’t display css and images.

Images and css are located in their own folder. I tried different paths: “gfx/logo.gif”, “/gfx/logo.gif”

Does anyone have some ideas about that?

    If your css and images are relative paths, say ResolveClientUrl("~/gfx/logo.gif") this renders to the client as src="gfx/logo.gif", which the browser with a slash thinks is /nodirectory/gfx/logo.gif instead of just /gfx/logo.gif.

    To resolve this, don’t use .ResolveClientUrl(), use .ResolveUrl(), this will make the src render src="/gfx/logo.gif" The beginning / makes it definitive, it’s that path from the root of the domain.

    You’ll see this same hebavior if you’re doing paths that start with ../ or gfx/ yourself…make them relative to the application base so there’s no chance of confusion.
