I have to create a image web service that when it receives an imageid
parameter it will return a gif image from a file that has been stored on the
server.

The client will be an asp.net web page that calls the web service to render
a vertical strip of images.

After doing some research I am unable to find some vb.net code that can
assist in what I want to achieve.
The closest thing I found was
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnmsde2kwrk/htm
l/mypicsvbvs.asp.

However its too complicated for me to work out the bits I really need. I
believe the web service needs to stream the image and the asp.net page
consumes this. Am I on the right track? Do I need to use IHttpHandler?

Can someone show me a basic code sample in vb.net so that I get images to
appear vertically as such:

Image #1
Image #2

Image #n
