Since MVC version 4 it is not required to write src="@Url.Content("~...")". Razor understands tilde and we can simply write src="~...".

I mistakenly though Razor calls UrlHelper.Content() behind the scenes where instance comes from WebViewPage.Url property.

Unfortunately Razor behaves elsewise: Content() method is not get called.

As I substitute default pages' UrlHelper with my own implementation, the results of calling Content() and simply writing url with tilde differ. Therefore I need consistency.

Out of curiosity, what's wrong with the behavior of `~` as it stands? i.e. what problem are you trying to solve? If you just want a literal `~` maybe `Html.Raw` will help you. – ta.speot.is Oct 29 '14 at 12:39
