Since we are unable to use IIS on our developer workstations due to security
policy, we would like to use the internal web server baked into VS.NET 2005.
The problem that I am currently running into is that we have many web
applications that share common images and I don't know where to put them. I'm
not able to create a virtual directory in "Cassini", so that's not a viable
solution. I also don't want to copy all the shared images under an \images
directory under each web application as this will be an administrative and
maintenance nightmare. We could store these images on a separate server and
reference them via HTTP, but that won't be a nice solution from a deployment
standpoint because we will need to change the code between development,
staging and our production environments. If we use <%=location%i n the tags
to find the location at runtime, then the images won't show up in the
designer. I have searched the internet in vain for a solution, so hopefully
you will have some guidance on this issue. I must be overlooking the obvious.

The absolute URL would change from development to staging to production, so I
would then have to go and change all reference before deployment from one
platform to another. I don't like this idea.

My personal preference would be likely still just to automate the copy using
a tool such as "robocopy" (downloable from MS, allows to synchronize
directories) either on demand or at logon time depending on the update
frequency (are they updated so often ?) or as part of the build process.
The application could be also written to accomodate both scenarios (the
location could be configurable, the application could redirect to an
alternate location in dev mode).
You could also try a Windows admin group (you have little know options such
as hardlinks or mount points though I believe it wouldn't work on a network
share).
Good luck

I would think this would get very messy because we have 40 web applications
that utilize the same images. A virtual directory would be beautiful, but
unfortunately you can't do that with the web server embedded in VS.NET 2005.
Another problem would be one of source control. These web sites would be a
mixture of source controlled and unbound files. I think this too would get
very confusing.

Put a "baseImageU rl" appSettings key in the web.config.
All your image urls would have this prepended. When you "move" the app,
the setting can be changed in only one place.

Will this solution display the images at design time?

Yes, as long as your web.config at design time is pointing to the actual
locations of the images.

Hi Jason,
Here's an example from an ASP.Net web application I have worked on:
<add key="ImagePath" value="http://www.airtraveler .com/airtraveler"/>
This is combined with the image file name in the app to create the URL of
the images in the app.
