asp.net using the hyperlink
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink4" NavigateUrl="~/Diary_Documents/Details.aspx" runat="server" Text="Images"></asp:HyperLink>

<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink4" NavigateUrl="~/Diary_Documents2/Details.aspx" runat="server" Text="Images"></asp:HyperLink>

Looking at the directory structure, unless I'm very much mistaken, the link should either be-
<asp:HyperLink NavigateUrl="~/DynamicData/CustomPages/Diary_Documents/Details.aspx" runat="server" Text="Images"></asp:HyperLink>
or
<asp:HyperLink NavigateUrl="~/DynamicData/CustomPages/Diary_Documents2/Details.aspx" runat="server" Text="Images"></asp:HyperLink>
The tilda (~) makes it a relative path from the root of the application. Therefore you need to add "DynamicData/CustomPages" to complete the path.
As you don't give the location of the page the link is contained in, I can't show you what the purely HTML relative link would be, but if the page were in "CustomPages" as an example, it would be this-
<asp:HyperLink NavigateUrl="Diary_Documents/Details.aspx" runat="server" Text="Images"></asp:HyperLink>
