Things work best with relative paths, since you can rehome a web site without having to change anything. &nbsp;A lot of ASP.NET examples will show relative pathing. &nbsp;I think that your problem will evaporate with relative pathing.<br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
This has been an annoyance for a while now. When running a website project locally, the built-in server makes the root &quot;localhost:port/directory/<wbr />&quot;, where directory is the name of the directory in which the project resides. This creates a problem once you start adding css files with background images that use absolute path. Is there a way to have it run locally without it appending the directory name or some other way that will allow to use absolute paths locally?<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Hello,

This has been an annoyance for a while now. When running a website project locally, the built-in server makes the root "localhost:port/directory/", where directory is the name of the directory in which the project resides.

Is there a way to have it run locally without it appending the directory name or some other way that will allow to use absolute paths locally?

Visual Studio built-in server adds directory (locally)
