ASP.NET 2.0 Master Pages – Referencing style sheets

Here’s one of those things I’m always forgetting, and since most of my work is on-site at clients, I don’t have a large source code repository to go back to reference.

To correctly reference a style sheet from within a master page in ASP.NET, use the following:


<link rel="stylesheet" href="<%= ResolveUrl("~/css/screen.css") %>" type="text/css" media="screen, projection" />


It’s the ResolveUrl that does the trick.

   Nothin’ worse than an unresolved URL. Leads to therapy sessions and laminated cards that say something like, “Life is a jouney, and you dropped your plane ticket in Jersey somewhere and, dude, you’re totally screwed now, man, no joke!”
