Merge Razor C# value with string

Question

I have some value in meta tag like this

<meta property="og:image" content="/Content/images/share-image.jpg"" />

The problem is that Facebook wants tag to be like this

<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.example.com/Content/images/share-image.jpg"" />

I know in MVC how to get base URL like this @Request.Url.AbsoluteUri

The problem is when I try something like this in view

  <meta property="og:image" content="@Request.Url.AbsoluteUriContent/images/share-image.jpg"" />

I got Error, how can i merge string in view with this

@Request.Url.AbsoluteUri

and

Content/images/share-image.jpg

Try @(Request.Url.AbsoluteUri), note the brackets around the call — 3dd

What about something like[email protected]+"/images/share-image.jpg"? — Kamil T

Try using braces around the C# statement:

<meta property="og:image" content="@(Request.Url.AbsoluteUri)Content/images/share-image.jpg" />

This will explicitly tell the Razor parser that the text inside @() is C# code.

I moved the closing paranthesis infront of "Content"

Thanks @Serv, you beat me to it. ;-)
