Path issues when deploying MVC applications

One of the issues that comes up when deploying MVC projects to server is, having a conflict with script path, images path,etc . The path structure that deployment does is, creating project name folder and beneath, there is folders for image,script, etc. Irrespective of how you had included in the project, this is the final structure that needs to be considered.

   To test the same, I deployed my project with the following structure working fine locally.  This image showed up with no issues, but it did not work after deployment.

<img src="../../Img/test1.jpg" />

  All I had to do is, replace the above with the following code and it works. :-)...

<img src="~/Img/test1.jpg" />

   Very simple, isn't it? This works fine locally and after deployment too... I had seen in many websites, where I was advised to use Url.Content, actually there was no need for me to implement it... every thing started working fine. Just in case, if this scenario doesn't work, you can always consider using Url.Content("~/<path for file>") and that might help you. Just a thought...

Happy coding...
