.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / March 2008ImageUrl property for jpg pictures within an outside virtual directory
I am using an image control to display some images within a virtual map (ImagesRoot in IIS) outside of the web root in my vb asp.net application. How should I code the imageurl property to have this working? Image1.imageurl = ? > I am using an image control to display some images within a virtual map > (ImagesRoot in IIS) outside of the web root in my vb asp.net application. > How should I code the imageurl property to have this working? > > Image1.imageurl = ? if pictures from fliker can be refered in pages... why this can't be done...? Its going to work if the folder's is also can be accessed from internet. in other words web shated folders... but again provide full qualified name.. like http://www.someweb.com/picturefolder... Thanks & Best of Luck Md. Masudur Rahman www.munna.shatkotha.com www.munna.shatkotha.com/blog Hi Masadur, I don't think you understood the issue. Imagine the web runs on the location C:\inetpub\wwwroot\MyWeb while all images are located at D:\images. Of course I can't web share the D:\images because ayone would be able to find all pictures by the browser url. I know that I must do something with a virtual directory within IIS which refers to the D:\images directory. I've already configured that but what should I type for this imageurl property? regards, Oscar >> I am using an image control to display some images within a virtual map >> (ImagesRoot in IIS) outside of the web root in my vb asp.net application.

Masudur Rahman www.munna.shatkotha.com www.munna.shatkotha.com/blog You should make a virtual directory MyImages on your site that will point to d:\images. Having done that, you can address images as Image1.imageurl = "~/MyImages/image1.jpg"  SignatureEliyahu Goldin, Software Developer Microsoft MVP [ASP.NET] http://msmvps.com/blogs/egoldin http://usableasp.net > Hi Masadur, > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] >> www.munna.shatkotha.com >> www.munna.shatkotha.com/blog Hi Eliyahu and Masadur, I've done that and the image still is not shown within the the browser. I've first configued a virtual directory called MyImages in IIS. The directory points to the directory D:\Images. Within VS2005 I've coded Image1.ImageUrl="~/MyImages/picturename.jpg" After browsing the page at my development PC, the picture is not shown and a red cross in the upper left corner shows me that the image couldn't be retrieved. In case I right click at the image properties it shows adres(URL) : http://localhost:1089/MyWeb/MyImages/picturename.jpg Since it shows th name of the virtual directory after the root location of MyWeb, I've tried another setting for the ImageUrl property (without the ~ character): Image1.ImageUrl="/MyImages/picturename.jpg" And it's still not working. The browser shows the picture properties as adres(URL) : http://localhost:1089/MyImages/picturename.jpg Any Idea how I can get this working? regards, Oscar > You should make a virtual directory MyImages on your site that will point > to d:\images.

So my question now is what I need to configure such that I can verify the proper working at my design PC. Up to now it looks like that the virtual directory doesn't work on the local design PC. Oscar > Hi Eliyahu and Masadur, > [quoted text clipped - 64 lines] >>>> www.munna.shatkotha.com >>>> www.munna.shatkotha.com/blog I think the problem is in using the asp.net development server. It doesn't use IIS and, AFAIK, has no knowledge of virtual directories. If you have local IIS, try running on it.
