  1. Is the folder on the web server (IIS presumably) marked as an ASP.NET application? If not, ~/ will point to the next application up, or the site root.

    It should have a cog icon in the IIS/MMC snap-in. Also ensure that it is running the right version of ASP.NET (v2.blah usually).

    In the IIS/MMC view, find the folder that is your project; right-click; Properties. Check it has an Application Name; if it doesn’t, click Create. You might also want to tweak the app-pool if you want it to run in a different identity than default. Also check the ASP.NET tab – for example, it might be 2.0.50727.
