Question

How would I go about adding a link to a stylesheet in a MasterPage?

Here is the directory sturcture of my website:

> MasterPages
  - Site.master
> Styles
  - Site.css
> Default.aspx
> Admin
  - Admin.aspx

If I add a reference to my stylesheet in the MasterPage as:

<link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Styles/Site.css" />

Everything works well in Default.aspx. But if I use the same MasterPage for the Admin.aspx page, the stylesheet cannot be found because it is looking in the wrong directory. How would I go about this? I’ve tried putting runat=”server” in the stylehseet reference, but that doesn’t seem to work

You need to specify a non ambiguous / non current relative path:

<link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="~/Styles/Site.css" />
