Setting innerText of href element in c# using content starts with ~/

Question

I have a web application in asp.net/c# 4.5

I have an href element on my front-end like below:

<a href="" id="myhref" runat="server"> my text </a>

What I want is to set an href and innerText to the element using c#, but the content will be starting with ~/

So in the code what I do:

myhref.href = "~/default.aspx?id=" + ID;
myhref.InnerText= "~/default.aspx?id=" + ID;

The problem is even though href looks like "http://localhost:12345/default.aspx?id=10" and once clicked it navigates the user to the correct page, the inner text on the screen is "~/default.aspx?id=10". I need the innerText to show the complete address on the screen as well. How can I provide it?

Thanks
