Caching thumbnails

Hello,

I'm making my first image gallery in ASP.NET. I've never worked with images
in ASP.NET before. Everything is going well so far, but what's bothering me
is thumbnails flickering when the user reloads the page. Example -
http://www.russiannature.com/gallery2.aspx

I've heard about the thumbnails caching and tried to find some information
on the web, and I found it, but couldn't understand - is it actually good or
bad thing? Some articles say that caching could overload the memory or
something like this.

Anyway, could you please recommend me a good solution for this? The gallery
itself I've made using this article:
http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/art...12203-1.2.aspx.

I would appreciate your advice on this subject.

Thank you,

if you specified the actual thumbnail size in the image tags, the page would
not have to resize as the images are loaded.

Greetings All, In Widows Explorer there is a thumbnail view, where you see images as thumbnails. Applications such as MS Office and OpenOffice, when installed, cause their respective filetypes to be previewed as thumbnails as well. Thumbnails are stored in the Thumbs.db hidden file. There my knowledge ends. I'm asuming that aplications install registry keys somewhere that register an invocation that returns a thumbnail for a given...

I have a gallery-like application. (The gallery will be actually presented in Flash, but the management (cms) of the images will be in asp.net. ) My question is, is it ok to create Thumbnail images on the fly by resizing the original sending it to the output stream (i.e. Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg"; Response.BinaryWrite(imageContent) ), or best to actually save the thumbnails to disk. Would this method result in a much slower...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
