Generate a table of thumbnails on the fly without saving to disk

[Espen Evje]

Hi,
I am trying to present the images in a folder as thumbnails in a dynamically
created asp:table.
I however do not want to save the thumbnails to disk, only show the images
in this folder as thumbnails and then forget about them.

I've seen a lot of samples using a datagrid/list and automatically bind
thumbnails to these controls, but it does not meet my requirements. I've
also seen a sample where the thumbnail of one image is genereated and then
saved to the response.output stream, which is almost what I am looking for,
but I cannot make this work with more that 1 image.

So my pseudocode for what I want is something like this:
------------------------------------------------------------
for each image in folder
add new cell in table
cell.text="<img src=" & image.getThumbn ail( ) & "/>"
next
------------------------------------------------------------

I know that the Thumbnail that is generated is an object and it will not
make sense in a src attribute, but you might see what I want.

Hope anyone can help

Hi,

You need to split your page to two pages. One will produce the Image by
outputstream. The other creates that images in table and set the src
attribute to the first page with the right parameters (pass as query
string).

for each image in folder
add new cell in table
cell.text="<img src= GetImage.aspx?i d=" & image.ID & "/>"
next
