Hello,
I need to set dynamically height and width attributes of an image control on
a WebForm. I know how to read the whole image from the hard-drive and use
its height and width properties. I guess it is not efficient as the whole
image needs to be read. I need to retrieve only two parameters: height and
width.
Is it possible to read only the size of image from the hard-drive?
Thanks,
Leszek Taratuta 7 5088
Leszek,
You would need to write a component that read the header of the image file.
If your dealing with large files, many requests, and not a huge server, it
may be something worthwhile doing.
OTOH, the client's machine will automatically size the image once
downloaded, and there isn't a huge overhead in determinging h/w of an image.

Alex:
What I am trying to accomplish is to resize the browser window to fit an
image. I need to retrieve the image size on the server side, so I could
generate a JavaScript code (window.open ...) providing proper width and
height of the window.
Is it difficult to write a code for reading just the image header?
I would need such code for .jpg, .gif, and .bmp.
Thanks,
Leszek Taratuta

you'll need to find a copy of the file format spec, then read the files
header and parse the info.
I did this a long time ago using VB6 and Gif images.

I have such functions in VBScript and classic ASP. I just thought there
would be a standard method somewhere using .NET.
Thanks,

Hi Leszek,
Firstly I want to thank Alex and Greg for their great help in this issue. I
agree with them that we need to write our own functions to do what you need
in .NET.

Where do you want to do this? Client or Server. If server then you can use
the .net classes to get the information. Check out the graphic classes.
Don't have access to the doc right now but I have done this. It is simple ,
just create the correct class (the hard part) , one of the constructors
takes the filename as input. Then there are readable properties to find out
most of the details of the image.

Here is the way I would do it in VB.Net. I am not sure if this is what you
mean by reading the whole file or not.
Dim MyBitmap As New Bitmap(Server.M apPath(".") & "\MyPicture.jpg ")
Me.Label1.Text = "The height is " & MyBitmap.Height .ToString & " and the
width is " & MyBitmap.Width. ToString

I'm in the practice of specifying img width and height in my style
definitions, although I usually use the actual size of the image. I'm
reworking the style and it would be convenient to leave image size
unspecified unless I need to change its dispayed size.
What, if any, are the reasons why an image size should be specified in
a stylesheet if it will be displayed in its actual size?

Hi all,
I have a php-generated webpage with images. My problem is: the Internet
Explorer cannot calculate the correct image size. Because of this the
images are not cached. So everytime a user clicks on some link all the
images gets retransfered and the page loads very slow.
You can check it if you right-click on an image and select properties.
Is there a possibility to send the image and its actual
size-information to the browser?
