Render image path to view

I have a weird bug that just happened to me, it was working before but I changed something very small that broke everything.

So, I have an Image that I find in the DB and then render it to the view by building the image link. The thing is : Razor is unable to map it to the image.

I have made an mage to show you how weird it is.

enter image description here

As you can see, those are the exact same strings, one is mapped correctly, the other isn't. I wonder is there is some kind of format that I'm missing. If I do "Server.MapPath" to get the absolute path of the Image, then it maps it correctly but the access to the image is forbidden (because absolute path).

you can also use custom htmlhelper of image and use like this. @html.Image(@item.ImageName)

Razor is only applying this tilde-slash magic when the relative path is applied directly into some HTML element's attribute, not when it's part of some model property.

You'll have to use Url.Content explicitly:

<img src="@Url.Content(Model.ProfilePicturePath)" />
