Images do not show in IE browser on some client machines

[=?Utf-8?B?ZGF2aWQ=?=]

I used Visual Studio .NEt 2003 to develop a web form in which there is a bmp
format image. I used WebControls.Image in Design and set ImageUrl property
field to file:///C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Demo\webimages\b2pentagons2.bmp

Any problem about it?

How to make a change for it?

Thanks

Do you think client's machines have that path
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Demo\webimages\b2pentagons2.bmp

Yes - it doesn't exist on the client machines...

Don't use a hard-coded fully-qualified filespec - use a relative path
instead e.g.:

"../webimages/b2pentagons.bmp"

the image path needs to be an http- addressable virtual or absolute url, eg.
mageUrl="webimages/b2pentagons2.bmp" -- or --
imageUrl = "http://yourserver/webimages/b2pentagons2.bmp"

a "FILE:///..." directive means "look for this on THIS machine's hard drive".
