+Summary: ~/ doesn't always translate to the root directory
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what 
+you are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Create a .aspx page in the root dir
+2. Create a UserControl in a subdir /controls
+3. Include the UserControl in de .aspx page
+3. Put the following code in the page_load event of the UserControl:
+
+    HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(this.ResolveUrl("~/"));
+
+Actual Results:
+
+rootdir/controls/
+ 
+Expected Results:
+
+rootdir/
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+always
+
+Additional Information:
+
+The "~/" construct to get the application root dir is a rather obscure 
+feature (almost no documentation), but it's used a lot in everyday 
+applications (at least I myself use it a lot :-)).
