Getting full URL from URL with tilde(~) sign

Question

I am trying to get a typical asp.net url starting with the tilde sign ('~') to parse into a full exact url starting with "http:"

I have this string "~/PageB.aspx"

And i want to make it become "http://myServer.com/PageB.aspx"

I know there is several methods to parse urls and get different paths of server and application and such. I have tried several but not gotten the result i want.

Answer 1

Try out

System.Web.VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute("yourRelativePath");  

There are various ways that are available in ASP.NET that we can use to resolve relative paths to a resource on the server-side and making it available on the client-side. I know of 4 ways -

 1) Request.ApplicationPath  2) System.Web.VirtualPathUtility  3) Page.ResolveUrl  4) Page.ResolveClientUrl
