MVC helper - using @URL for image src?

Question

I'm using MVC3 and have a simple helper that draws a box with some text and icons inside for a status application. A snippet: ``` @helper Tile(string ID) {

Status bar text

etc... ``` It would be great to use @Url.Content for the image src, but I get an error it's not available. Is there something I can add or change to use this? I'd rather not need to juggle paths and having a problem once the app is on the server. Thanks!

Accepted Answer

Looks like somebody asked the question better than me. Look at this:

In ASP.NET MVC how can I use the Razor @Url.Content() helper from C# code?

You can also use @Href inside an MVC Helper too, like this:

```
src="@Href("../../Images/trend_up.png")" (whatever path is relative to the cshtml file)
-- or --
src="@Href("~/Images/trend_up.png")"
```

The above are for MVC3.

In MVC4, you get this nice shortcut (notice the ~):

```
<img id="img1" src="~/Images/trend_up.png" />
```

Thanks to Rick Anderson, Jon Galloway and Eilon Lipton for the help.
