Beginners question

[Guest]

Hello, I am new to asp.net.
I want to write an asp file that sends a gif image to my client img tag
as follows:

<img src=img_script.asp>Hello</img>

In my img_script.asp file I therefore need to open the image
with binary reader like so:

Imports System.IO
Dim fs As FileStream = New FileStream("c:\data.txt", FileMode.Open)
Dim r As BinaryReader = New BinaryReader(fs)

I received the following error:

Technical Information (for support personnel)

a.. Error Type:
Active Server Pages, ASP 0221 (0x80004005)
The specified 'Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false"
CodeFile="Default.aspx.vb" Inherits="_Default" ' option is unknown or
invalid.
/t.asp, line 1
Thank you in advance for any assistance in solving this problem.

Its better to use a HttpHandler instead of an ASPX Page.

I received the following error: [,,,]

This is because you are using ASP.NET Code on a file with the extension from
"old" classic asp -> site.asp

Hi johan,

You need to be sure you have ASP.NET installed on your web server, than use
the .aspx extention instead of .asp.

I see, it does work now,

How do I get intelisense to work? I am using vs2003 on a standalone aspx
file?

....and how do I interface BinaryReader to Response.BinaryWrite?


BinaryWrite expect a 'var' type

Can I do it in one go or do I need to loop till EOF etc
