    Root Folder for Web Application

    I have the following line of code in my MasterPage.Mast er file. It's a link
    to ensure the web-sites default.aspx page in the root folder will always
    load.

    <a href="~/Default.aspx" >Home</a>

    But, I've tried using it in pages that are in sub-folders and it returns an
    error page. I get the 404 error as follows:

    Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its
    dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is
    temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that
    it is spelled correctly.

    Requested URL: /WestChicago/~/Default.aspx

    I know I'm close to having this right. I thought the tilda (~) specified the
    root folder and thus ~/default.aspx would load the page from any website
    folder. Plus, I need this to ensure all of my other links start from the root
    folder as well when needed.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks.

      The ~ can only be used in URLs for server controls, not static html. You can
      use the HyperLink server control, or you can use the ResolveUrl method to
      programmaticall y assign the url. Good Luck!
