Question

I have this quite popular problem, but have failed to find a solution that works.

Basicly, I am using a Master Page (/Masterpages/Default.master), that includes

<link href="../css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css />

And it also includes some images with the same relative linking.

But when I apply the Master Page to content pages (in diffrent folderlevels) the css formating and images is lost.

Is there anyway to dynamicaly solve the folderlevel links to css and images to all content pages using the masterpage?

Thanks in advance

UPDATE:

There is an additional problem. It’s tricky to get the output to render correctly in both the browser and in design view in Visual Studio.

I got it to work by using the asp:image solution for the images in the masterpage and by double linking the css in the masterpage, one to make it render in VS and one to make it render correctly browsing the site.

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

Answer 1

best to use:

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

since this will cope with iis application roots unlike:

<link href="/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css />
