Image file path in Razor .cshtml view file

In the website I'm creating, I'm trying to store a URL to an uploaded image into my model and calling to it in the view. So when I type out the file path in the source for the HTML, it works fine.

<dd><img src="~/uploads/image.jpg" alt="ASP.NET" style="width:350px;height:260px" />
    </dd>

But if I try to call from the model, the URL gets messed up.

@string imagePath = "~/uploads/" + Model.Picture;

 <dd><img src=@imagePath alt="ASP.NET" style="width:350px;height:260px" />
    </dd>

That code links to "http://localhost:60847/Controller/Details/~/uploads/image.jpg" . Could someone explain to me why it's working differently? Thank you.

You are missing quotes around the src property value. Also make sure you use the Url.Content helper method to get the correct path. You may pass "~" to this method to get the correct path to your app root.

@{ string imagePath = Url.Content("~/uploads/" + Model.Picture); };
<img src="@imagePath" alt="ASP.NET" style="width:350px;height:260px" />

Or even a single liner without the variable

<img src="@Url.Content("~/uploads/" + Model.Picture)"  />
