I’m trying to use ResolveUrl() to set some paths in the code behind of a custom ASP.NET user control. The user control contains a navigation menu. I’m loading it on a page that’s loading a master page.

When I call ResolveUrl(“~”) in my user control it returns “~” instead of the root of the site. When I call it in a page I get the root path as expected. I’ve stepped through with the debugger and confirmed, ResolveUrl(“~”) returns “~” in my user control code behind.

Is there some other way I should be calling the function in my user control code behind to get the root path of the site?

    wonde’s comment above led me to the answer —

    I was attempting to use ResolveUrl before the control’s page load fired. Therefore there was no context page for the function yet.

    I moved my code into the page load function and now it’s resolving as expected.

    Thanks for the nudge in the right direction.
