I have a virtual path (example: "~/Images/Banner.jpg") and I want to make that an absolute web path (example: "/ApplicationRoot/Images/Banner.jpg"). There is a method that will do this, I believe in a class called something like HTTPUtility or similar name. Though ever time I need this method, it takes me hours searching for it. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could post the proper method to do this so I can favorite this for easy access in the future.
Thank you very much.
System.Web.VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute("yourRelativePath");
There you go :)
There are various ways that are available in ASP.NET that we can use to resolve relative paths to absolute Urls -
1) Request.ApplicationPath
2) System.Web.VirtualPathUtility
3) Page.ResolveUrl
4) Page.ResolveClientUrl
Here's a article that explains the difference between the various ways to resolving paths in ASP.NET -
Page.ResolveClientUrl. The method exists in Control apparently: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/…Control.ResolveClientUrl(url)
or
Control.ResolveUrl(url)
Whichever one you need (honestly I dont know the difference, as both seem to return mostly the same, perhaps someone can illuminate me :) ).
