I am trying to convert the regular sized images in a directory to
thumbnails and then display the thumbnails in a datalist. My code
below is displaying the first image and nothing else after it. What
do I have to do to have the thumbnails displayed in my datalist?
Thanks.
Dim strFile As String
Dim pics As ArrayList = New ArrayList
' Get image folder path on server - use "\" string if root
Dim strServerPath As String = Server.MapPath( "photos\")
For Each strFile In System.IO.Direc tory.GetFiles(s trServerPath,
"*.jpg")
' Get the regular sized image
Dim FullSizeImg As System.Drawing. Image
FullSizeImg = System.Drawing. Image.FromFile( strFile)
' Create the delegate
Dim dummyCallBack As System.Drawing. Image.GetThumbn ailImageAbort
dummyCallBack = New
System.Drawing. Image.GetThumbn ailImageAbort(A ddressOf
ThumbnailCallba ck)
' Create the thumbnail
Dim ThumbNailImg As System.Drawing. Image
ThumbNailImg = FullSizeImg.Get ThumbnailImage( 160, 120,
dummyCallBack, IntPtr.Zero)
ThumbNailImg.Sa ve(Response.Out putStream,
System.Drawing. Imaging.ImageFo rmat.Jpeg)
pics.Add(ThumbN ailImg)
Next
DataList1.DataS ource = pics
DataList1.DataB ind() 3 2492
Hi John
First, in the item template of the datalist you need an image control
Second, the image control needs a url (either src= or imageurl=, depending on whether it's a server control)
Third, you can do the url the easy way or the harder-but-cooler way
Easier way: Don't store your thumbnails in the array, instead write them to disk with temp names and store just the names in the array, then bind the source url to those names and you're off
Harder way: Keep your images in the arraylist, but now you need a url that returns each image from memory. Consider GetImage.aspx, which returns a byte stream the browser will interpret as an image, with something like this in PageLoad
Dim bmp As Image = New Bitmap(Server.M apPath("images\ myfile.jpg")
Dim thumb as image = bmp.GetThumbnai lImage, etc
Response.Conten tType = "image/jpeg
bmp.Save(Respon se.OutputStream , Imaging.ImageFo rmat.Jpeg
Now you bind the source url to GetImage.aspx and the thumbnail is fed from memory rather than disk
Finally, in my example GetImage returns the *same* image each time, so if your directory has 30 images you'd get the same one each time...not good. A few ways to go about it, buy maybe the easiest is that you build your arraylist with just the file names, pass the file name to GetImage.aspx in a query string, and let GetImage convert it to a thumbnail and stream it back

P.S. If you're serious about it, there's a great discussion in Dino Esposito's book, Programming Microsoft ASP.NET

P.S. In Esposito's book, he skips the dummy callback and just does this (which worked for me too)
Dim bmp As Image = New Bitmap(Server.M apPath("images\ myimage.jpg")
Dim newbmp As Image = bmp.GetThumbnai lImage(20, 20, *Nothing*, IntPtr.Zero
Enjoy

Is it possible to use GetThumbnailImage with images being pulled from an SQL

I understand that one of the limitations of the Image.GetThumbnailImage()
function is that it's not really good for creating "large" thumbnails
because if it exists in the image file, the function will take the embedded
thumbnail and actually blow it up to the requested height/width.
Does anyone know if Microsoft will be fixing this "feature" or whether
there's a work around to force the function to use the full image to scale?
Thanks...

Hi everyone,
I am trying to generate some thumbnails using System.Drawing.Image Class.
Actually the GetThumnailImage method. The question is: How can I get a

example, 800x600 and I generate a small picture (160x120) the quality is
terrible for a jpeg and even orse for a gif. How can I get some better
images? There is another class? There is some resolution propertie I...
