Don't look for myapp folder, look for images folder and don't use
absolute paths...use relative paths.
for example if we have directory structure like
myapp/Images
myapp/css
myapp/UserPages
You can reference the myapp folder (root folder) with ~ operator
The following example shows the ~ operator used to specify a root-
relative path for an image when using the Image server control In this
example, the image file is read from the Images folder that is located
directly under the root of the Web application, regardless of where in
the Web site the page is located.
<asp:image runat="server" id="Image1" ImageUrl="~/Images/
SomeImageInImagesFolder.jpg" />
in css folder's css file you reference to image like this:
.someclass
{
background-image: url(../Images/SomeImageInImagesFolder.jpg);
}
You don't need to reference "myapp"
