Re: ~ explication
~ is the home directory on Unix.
I don't really know what it can mean in a URL, though (which user?)

In the context of an ASP.NET application ~ stands for the application
directory and most properties and methods using url will replace ~ with the
application root virtual path during rendering. This is very useful if you
want to reference a ressource without knowing the name of the application
directory.
Instead of writing urls like:
/myapp/images/ok.gif -> that could fail if myapp is once moved to
/allapps/myapp...
/images/ok.gif -> same problem
.../../images/ok.gif -> relative urls not always accepted and problems if the
owner page is moved
You would write :
~/images/ok.gif
I have tested this kind of urls for :
HttpResponse.Re direct
Hyperlink.Image Url, HyperLink.Navig ateUrl
Image.ImageUrl
But I could not manage to find a proper documentation on this behaviour.
Hope it helps.
