Hi
I'm trying to redirect from Gridview Link(HyperLink Field). When i give URL like http://Google.com or http://www.hclsd.com it redirects properly. When i try /JOBS/www.infosys.com giving error.

HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Is it because the URL is not fully qualified?

Thank you in advance.

What URL does it go to when you use /JOBS/www.infosys.com ?

This is my redirected url http://localhost:49829/www.infosys.com/careers.

Clearly, that URL won't exist. And what URL do you want it to go?

/JOBS/www.infosys.com just try this in browser. It is redirecting. and all URL which starts with www is giving same error. So i tried prefixing http:// like http://www..... So i observed everything is working properly.

It didn't redirect. But since my browser is configured to return Google search results for this, I got a search result from Google.

You seem to be confused about absolute and relative paths. There is a very nice article on CodeProject for the same. I suggest you go through it once - There is something about "Paths" for Asp.net beginners[^] and you will be able to solve your problem.

When you don't provide the http://[^] it search for local path from current directory and it will not open as a web url.
