Question

Answer 1

+4 A:

If your <head></head> tag contains runat="server" (which IIRC it does by default) you can simply specify it as:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="~/CSS/Style.css" media="screen" />

Don't you need runat=server with the ~/ reference?

I seem to remember having seen that having it on the head tag is sufficient, but since you mention it I'll just try it out...

Yes having it on head will do the trick:<head runat="server"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="~/CSS/Style.css" media="screen" /></head>yields:<head><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../CSS/Style.css" media="screen" /></head>when my page is in a subfolder to the root

Excellent, it works. But why does it work ? :)

Wow, I didn't know having the head to be "runat=server" makes its child elements behave almost like server controls. Glad I read this answer.

Sure do :) same if you have <table runat="server"><tr><td></td></tr></table> your <tr> and <td> will get you a complete HtmlTable structure with HtmlTableRow's and HtmlTableCell's
