ASP.Net HyperLink's NavigateUrl changes after rendering in to HTML Anchor

I am quite new to ASP.Net. I have a Master.aspx and a Page1.aspx and Page2.aspx, all in the same directory.

Master:

<asp:HyperLink NavigateUrl="Page1.aspx" runat="server" Text="Page 1" />
<asp:HyperLink NavigateUrl="Page2.aspx" runat="server" Text="Page 2" />

both the Page1 and Page2 gets rendered from above master page.

all three are in a vertual directory which is mapped as a subdomain here are the details:

Virtual Drectory: dirvir Domain: dirvir.example.com

now when I open any of the page say:

http://dirvir.example.com/Page1.aspx

the Hyperlinks are rendered containing

href="../virdir/Page1.aspx"
href="../virdir/Page2.aspx"

respectively.

On click of them it takes me to 

http://dirvir.example.com/dirvir/Page1.aspx
http://dirvir.example.com/dirvir/Page2.aspx

where as I wanted it to be 

http://dirvir.example.com/Page1.aspx
http://dirvir.example.com/Page2.aspx

I can achive the same by using <a> but i need them on the code behind too so thats not desired.

Note: using <a> with runat server also behaves in the same way HyperLink does.

Solution

  • Can you try this as indicated below change the NavigateUrl,

    <asp:HyperLink NavigateUrl="~/Page1.aspx" runat="server" Text="Page 1" />
<asp:HyperLink NavigateUrl="~/Page2.aspx" runat="server" Text="Page 2" />

    Or 

    <asp:HyperLink NavigateUrl="/Page1.aspx" runat="server" Text="Page 1" />
<asp:HyperLink NavigateUrl="/Page2.aspx" runat="server" Text="Page 2" />
