public string BaseURL { get; set; }

Property Value

String
Remarks
This is very important property when you are converting HTML document in memory. Specify a BaseURL that is it will convert all relative URLs on that page to absolute URLs.

For example, lets convert HTML string to RTF file.

If we've specified:

HtmlConvertOptions opt = new HtmlConvertOptions(); opt.BaseURL = @"d:\my webs";

When the component meets 'src="images/asterisk.jpg"' it will try to open it from: "d:\my webs\images\asterisk.jpg"
