I upload a selected image to wwwroot folder. That works.

I return the Razor Page with a ViewData containing the path. That doesn’t work.

This is what shows when I debug ViewData in Immediate debug window:

?ViewData["Uploaded"]
"~/images/DanceImages/bulltrout.jpg"

If I paste that path exactly into an img tag, it works:

<img src="~/images/DanceImages/bulltrout.jpg" alt="" />

But if I try to reference the ViewData[“Uploaded”] on the Razor page, I just get the path displayed:

html:

@ViewData["Uploaded"].ToString()

displays this string:

~/images/DanceImages/bulltrout.jpg

So I tried using url.content syntax :

 @Url.Content(ViewData["Uploaded"].ToString())

and I get the path displayed again but without the “~/”

To summarize:
The actual string cut from inside the ViewData object when used with <img tag works.

Screenprint below has hardcoded path that works.
Then next is url.content result
Then finally img tag result
I can’t seem to reference the ViewData[“Uploaded”] on the Razor page.
