asp.net 2.0 request.url.host

[Karl]

Hi,

Bit of a stretch posting this here because I know there aren't that many .NET'ers that've been able to help in the past, but here goes!

I'm using a string property in the code-behind of my website that will grab the URL I'm using for building usable links in a website that uses URL rewriting.

The two properties that're used are these:

public string VirtualRoot
    {
        get
        {
            if (Utils.VirtualRoot == null)
            {
                string virtualRoot = Request.ApplicationPath.TrimEnd('/') + "/";
                Utils.VirtualRoot = virtualRoot;
            }
            return Utils.VirtualRoot;
        }
    }

    public string AppRoot
    {
        get
        {
            if (Utils.AppRoot == null)
            {
                Utils.AppRoot = "http://" + Request.Url.Host + VirtualRoot;
            }
            return Utils.AppRoot;
        }
    }

I'm using multiple URLs on this website, so something like http://www.test.com and http://test.tester.com I build the site locally, but deployed it regularly to http://test.tester.com.

I have now pointed the domain http://www.test.com to my website, which brings up the home page. However, hovering over any of the navigation that uses my two properties above points to http://test.tester.com, even though I arrived on http://www.test.com

Any ideas why this is? I'm utterly clueless! Could it be an IIS-related thing? I'm using IIS 6.0.

Thanks for any help,

Karl.

Thanks for any help,

Not in front of my dev workstation at the mo to check, but could it be some stray settings in your App setting in IIS?

hi just out of interest could you not just use mappath to make up the links. I use this on my own websites.

something like this

Request.MapPath("some file.aspx");
