Link is not working after parsing it from string

I've got some html code in my View. For example:

        <b>Some text</b>
        <p style="color:#337ab7">
            Some other text
            <a href="~/Content/files/my file_form.pdf" style="font-size:smaller; text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">SEE CONTENT</a>
        </p>

As You can see, the code contains the link to some .pdf. It works fine. Instead of this I want to be able read the html from the string I provide via the class:

 public static class ResourceParser
    {
        public static string GetTextFromResource(string keyValue)
        {
            var path = "MyProject.MyRepository.App_GlobalResources.pl";

            var res_manager = new ResourceManager(path, typeof(pl).Assembly);

            return res_manager.GetString(keyValue);
        }
    }

So instead of this html code in my View I'd want to have something like:

@Html.Raw(ResourceParser.GetTextFromResource("textAfterAllDataOnEmployeeEditPage"))

to load my html from resources. The problem is that when I use it like this, the link does not work and the site shows an 404 error.

The simplest solution is to use root-relative links in your HTML string, for example you need to replace:

href="~/Content/etc.pdf"

With

href="/Content/etc.pdf"

In your specific case, this will solve the problem. The special character ~ in your view gets parsed into the full path, it's not a feature of HTML.
