I am using asp.NET with masterpages and usercontrols.

In MasterPage:

Doing 

<link href='<%=ResolveUrl("~/path/file.css")%>' rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

will not work and the css will not load
BUT

Doing 

<link runat="server" href='~/path/file.css' rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

will work and the css will load

In User Control:

Doing 

<link runat="server" href='~/path/file.css' rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

will not work and the css will not load

BUT

Doing 

<link href='<%=ResolveUrl("~/path/file.css")%>' rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

will work and the css will load

In master page ResolveUrl doesn’t work and runat=”server” works where in user control the opposite is the true. Maybe I worng and I appriciate if someone will check this. If this is the situation, what is the reason for this inconsistency?

    Ok, I got it.
    In one of the cases I had <head runat="server"> tag. Because the runat=”server”, the ResolveUrl is not act as a server method but a simple text. That is why ResolveUrl didn’t word – I had runat=”server” in the head tag.
