Absolute/relative routes in MVC

[Dominik]

Hi,

How could I perform something like this in my MVC application:

<script src="<%= Url.Content("~/Scripts/site.js")%>" type="text/javascript"></script>

I want to allow absolutes urls in my application in order to has it working both in development and in an deployment using virtual directories. But when I add this line to my view I have this error:

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Web.HttpException: The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control contains code blocks (i.e. <% ... %> ).
