Hello I have included this in my master page:
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="~/favicon.ico" />

when I open the website from visual studio it shows the favicon at localhost but when I upload the master page file to the hosting environment it is not showing.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Hi there,

~/favicon is a server side URL. However, your link element doesn't run server side. Try changing it to /favicon or whatever the path to the icon is

Cheers,

Imar

Thank you!

Actually I added this and it works:
<link id="Link1" runat="server" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="~/favicon.ico" />
