Because ASP.NET MVC views are in a separate folder, your best option is to use the
to get the exact path of the image.
All Url.Content does is return the exact path of a specific file using its relative url so it can be used for ANY file in your web application (.js .css .txt etc.).
Alternatively, a better implementation for images is Html.Image() which is available in the MVC Futures (I can’t find the .dll link) and I think in the new version of ASP.NET MVC
If you can’t find them, check out this post
Where is Html.Image in ASP .NET MVC RC?
