PostBackUrl with query string is taking me to original root URL always

Question

I am new to web development. I have a simple question

I have the following server side code

linkButton.PostBackUrl = "PageRedirect.aspx?Link=" + values[1];

When I click on the link, it takes me to the root website passing values[1] to it

which actually doesn't exist

note that PageRedirect.aspx exists directly under the original root as well as the page from which the code is executed.

Does changing it to this work?

linkButton.PostBackUrl = "~/PageRedirect.aspx?Link=" + values[1];

It turns out that all values[1] (the link) should start with http:// otherwise it will not recognize it
