ASP.NET Resource Reference Best Practices
<p>I'm relatively new to ASP.NET and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on when I should use relative references (e.g. ../images/banner_tinga.jpg) versus the tilde (e.g. ~/images/banner_tinga.jpg). Depending on the situation you can accomplish the same goal using either. What are the pros and cons of each mechanism? One argument for the relative reference seems to be Visual Studio's design time dislike for resources referenced by the tilde. Whenever I reference a css file that why it indicates it can not be found.</p>
