Hi
  It better to give server ip address in string leaveAddressForApproval = "http://localhost:5403/LeaveRequest.aspx?leaveRequestNo=" + txtLeaveNo.Text;

and then publish it and deploy in server machine,in server machine if it is url have ip address or locahost or machine name it work,but u r try to give url to other machine,so localhost:5403 definitively not work .localhost:5403  works only from server machine where u deploy.

Note: Leave application website deploy in server,so u need to give server ip address in a url link,better to chnage server ip address in url link like

string leaveAddressForApproval = "http://192.168.1.2/LeaveRequest.aspx?leaveRequestNo=" + txtLeaveNo.Text;

for eg 192.168.1.2 is server ip address.

And without web.config file cant work website,u can check in solution "web.config"

The simplest way is to use Virtual path instead of an absolute path. Or use Page.ResolveUrl method to specify the home path and add page url to it. Something like

C#

string leaveAddressForApproval = Page.ResolveUrl("~/") + "LeaveRequest.aspx?leaveRequestNo=" + txtLeaveNo.Text;

Still, if you need more flexibility, you got two options.
1) Get it from the database. But it's important to have it Cached so you don't need to make db call again and again. In our case, we have a table where we store such config related things in name value pair. We keep that table in Cache and use those values. So yes, that is an option.
2)Store it in your web.config. You can save it using Key-Value pair under ClientConfig > Paths node. In your release web.config add production url, in your local one use localhost url. You can access it by specifying

C#

ClientConfig.Paths["Key"];

Hope that helps!
