This is really a problem with the component responsible for allowing users to pick the property value for the NavigateURL property of the Hyperlink Control.

The problem is pretty simple and if you follow the steps described below you will see it.

English

Visual Studio 2008 (All Products and Editions)

Windows XP Professional

English (US)

Create a new web site.
Create a new folder called 'affiliate'
In that new folder create a new page called 'Default.aspx'
In that same folder create a new page called 'Signup.aspx'
Go back to the 'affiliate/Default.aspx' page.
Add a Hyperlink control to the page and edit the NavigateURL propery by SELECTING THE ... BUTTON and select the Signup.aspx page in the affiliate subdirectory. The UI will INCORECTLY set the property to 'affiliate/Signup.aspx' instead of 'Signup.aspx'

You end up with the incorrect relative path to the page you are linking to by using the UI.

The relative path should have been just Signup.aspx not affiliate/Signup.aspx

it seems to be the opposite case of my bug ID 338624, if i try to define an image source by the same way , the path is the file name instead of the relativ path images/file.jpg
