ImageUrl property for jpg pictures within an outside virtual directory

[OK]

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 = ?

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..

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

Hi.. if you already made the image directory as a virtual directory...
let say images folder

www.johndoe.com/images
where images is the virtual directory that refers as d:/images...

your url from pages will be like this...
image1.imageurl = "~/images/SomeImage.gif"

hope that helps

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"

[OK]

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?

Oscar

Hi,

I've found that anything works OK at the web server after that the website
is published. 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.

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.

It is a setting in the application properties in VS. Or in the web project
properties if you are using project files.
