@Bathula: It depends on where you would like to use the URL. In most scenarios you would use the SPUtility.GetServerRelativeUrlFromPrefixedUrl("~SiteCollection/_layouts/viewlsts.aspx") method.

Hi Waldek,

could you please suggest me the relative URL that i need to give on my master page to open any site collections view all site content page. currently i am giving URL as "/_layouts/viewlsts.aspx". This works fine when i am on root site collection. But fails the logic when on other site collections like /sites/sitecollection2/.

thank you
Bathula

1) Have you considered implementing the ~variation token in an ExpressionBuilder?
2) SPUtility.GetServerRelativeUrlFromPrefixedUrl() can handle ~site and ~sitecollection for you.
3) One-liner to collapse trailing slashes:
siteUrl = siteUrl.TrimEnd('/')+'/';

Compulsive nit-picks aside, very nice!
