Why doesn't the <img> tag get the string value in ASP.NET?

Question

I'm working on .NET 4.7.2 When I define the path with a string, it doesn't work, but defines it in the tag it's working.

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Home Page";
}

@{
    string path = Server.MapPath("~/Content/img/logo.jpg");
}

<img src="@path" alt="Alternate Text" />
<img src="~/Content/img/410.jpg" />

You can use like this too <img src='@Url.Content("~/Content/img/logo.jpg")' alt="Alternate Text" /> — Naveen Chandra Tiwari

Server.MapPath returns the path on the server, like c:\... it doesn't return the path on the website like http://... Try a view source to see — the_lotus

@DoğukanT.: Doesn't show image doesn't tell me what HTML is produced. — Jonathan Wood

Server.MapPath returns a server based physical path. More than likely the web browser wont handle that path. You need to use a virtual path:

@{
    string path = Url.Content("~/Content/img/logo.jpg");
}
