I want to get the absolute path of a static file using @Url.Content on a razor view to use it as a value of content attr of a meta tag but It's seems not working for me I didn't know what is the problem.

@{
var pageThumbnail = Url.Content("~/assets/121545/mid.jpg");
}

@section Meta {
<meta property="og:image" content="@pageThumbnail" />
}

  • Result : <meta property="og:image" content="/assets/121545/mid.jpg" />

  • I expected this result instead: <meta property="og:image" content="https://localhost:5001/assets/121545/mid.jpg" />

  • There's an overload `Url.Content("...", Request.Scheme, Request.Host)` – Jeremy Lakeman Jun 10 '22 at 02:22

Try to add Context.Request.Host to pageThumbnail:

@{
var pageThumbnail = Context.Request.Host + Url.Content("~/assets/121545/mid.jpg");
}

@section Meta {
<meta property="og:image" content="@pageThumbnail" />
}
