    Hi,

    I'm using RC1 and running into an issue. When I use the following code, I get an error (below)

    <asp:HyperLink ID="TopImageLink" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/images/logo.jpg" NavigateUrl="~/index.aspx" />

    If I change the code to just be / it works fine (like so)
    <asp:HyperLink ID="TopImageLink" runat="server" ImageUrl="/images/logo.jpg" NavigateUrl="/index.aspx" />

    Here's the error I get: "Cannot use a leading .. to exit above the top directory."

    Hello Ben,

    Indeed, the Hyperlink control does not resolve the ImagerUrl property correctly. This is a known issue but we haven't been able to provide a fix for it yet.
    We are sorry for the inconvenience.

    Sincerely yours,

    Hi,

    I figured this issue would have been resolved for the release, but I'm still having the problem.  Seems to only happen once I'm 3 directories in.

    So I have a site and I have a hyperlink image on the template and when I go to edit a page that's 3 dirs in, such as:
    /articles/2005/winter/index.aspx?cmspagemode=edit
    I run into this error.  When I make the hyperlink ImageUrl="/images/edit.gif" instead of ="~/images/edit.gif" it works fine.

    Is this something you could fix for SP1?  I know it's supposed to come out on Tuesday, so it's late notice, but it's a bug that should be fixed, no?

    Thanks a lot.  I LOVE Sitefinity!!!

    Ben

    Hello Ben Alexandra,

    We fixed this for SP1 by including the DynamicHyperLink control. It does the same job as the Hyperlink control and even if you move a page, all links to it  will still be correct.

    Kind regards,
