HtmlHead link problem

Question

User-1853544428 posted

Hi,

I have written a control, which is located in ~/lukrsControls/mainMenu/myControl.ascx.

Inside of this control i do this in page_load event:

        HtmlHead head = (HtmlHead)Page.Header;
        HtmlLink link = new HtmlLink();

         
        link.Href = "lukrsControls/mainMenu/mainMenu.css";
        link.Attributes.Add("type", "text/css");
        link.Attributes.Add("rel", "stylesheet");

        head.Controls.Add(link);

This code adds a link to my css inside head element. The problem is, that I would like to remove  this part of the path -> lukrsControls/mainMenu/, with some funtion that would generate this part of the link if you know what I mean.

(this way, my control could be used in any directory)

For example, I have a hyperlink in the same class and its NavigateUrl property is "Default.aspx?id=". When I start the application, the link automatically gets "lukrsControls/mainMenu". But the HtmlLink for my head doesn't.

I would really appreciate any help...

Thanks,

LP, Lukrs

you can use root relative syntax by using the ~/ and then just run it through Page.ResolveUrl to get ta root relative link url that can be used from anywhere on your site.

 

// assuming the lukrsControls is a folder in the root of your project folder
link.Href = Page.ResolveUrl("~/lukrsControls/mainMenu/mainMenu.css");

Try using the ResolveUrl method from your control:

link.Href = this.ResolveUrl("mainMenu.css");
