Options for displaying IMAGES???

I'm working on an e-commerce type site where I have a bunch of categorized
items... once you drill down to the items page, I show the list of items
with a "preview picture". When you click on the item itself, there are 1 to
n detail pictures. What is the best way to do this?

1) Should I store the images in the database?
2) seems easier to store them in the /images directory, but then backing up,
restoring or scaling the database becomes a head ache.
3) how do I show the images? there doesn't seem to be a way to get a
repeater control or datalist to render them.
4) doing a getimage.asp?im ageid=10 seems hokey and poor performance wise

Thanks!

At first I was not certain what could cause Access 97 from displaying most jpeg images, but not all. After further testing, it seemed that all original images of less than 275 pixels per inch or less would display, but those close to 300 pixels/inch or greater would not (MS Access cannot recognize the file format xxx.jpg). The larger, original images were scanned and saved as .bmp (at 300 dpi producing a 15MB file). Then the images were...

Hello, I'm wondering whats the best method to use for displaying several photos' thumbnails. One method I know is to dynamically resize the photo at the time the page is loaded. What does this do to server/site performance? The other is to copy the photo at time of upload and create a thumbnail then, have two separate images, therefor when displaying its just pulling the actual image. What do you think??

I've googled and tried various approaches, but could not resolve this problem. The article at MSDN: Displaying Images in a GridView Column only presents a simple case where all data (including the images) of the gridview come from a single table/datasource. Here is my situation. In my web application, I need to display customer bills info in a gridview. Customer names and contact info are from the Customer table.

VS 2003/C# Have a axWebBrowser control that will not render images. Originally our app was just launching IE7 to display an HTML page.

When we embedded the HTML in the axWebBrowser control it reverted back to the original behavior - no images. Images (even bitmaps) rendered OK in...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
