Hi All,

I have got a master page(Project>>MasterPages>>MainPage.master) and some images in that page with some path like "../../Images/bg_main_menu.png".

I refer this master page in two forms. One of those form is oresent in the path : Project>>Forms>>Form1.aspx and the other one is : Project>>Forms>>NewFolder>>Form2.aspx

Now for Form2.aspx the image is not getting loaded.

I tried the image path with "~Images/bg_main_menu.png". But it is not working.

Can somebody help?

Regards,
Snigdha

There is something like ResolveUrl. It should help you out.
Read about it here[^].

A good Tip related to it is posted here[^]. You should use it.

You are missing a forward slash after TILDA (~), before Images.
~/Images/....

There is some info on msdn about the same issue:

Maybe it's just as simple by adding the extra /

"~/Images/bg_main_menu.png"

Good luck!

ResolveUrl dint work properly, but searching for that, i got one more thing called ResolveClientUrl.

The difference between these two is... ResolveUrl can be used for ASP controls and ResolveClientUrl can be used for html controls.

But now I have one more problem. This technique is not working out inside style sheet. If i am mentioning any background image to a style class, then this is not working.

What should I do?
