ImageUrl property for jpg pictures within an outside virtual directory

[OK]

I am using an image control to display some images within a virtual map
(ImagesRoot in IIS) outside of the web root in my vb asp.net application.
How should I code the imageurl property to have this working?

Image1.imageurl = ?

Hi Masadur,

I don't think you understood the issue. Imagine the web runs on the location
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\MyWeb while all images are located at D:\images. Of
course I can't web share the D:\images because ayone would be able to find
all pictures by the browser url. I know that I must do something with a
virtual directory within IIS which refers to the D:\images directory. I've
already configured that but what should I type for this imageurl property?

regards,

Oscar

Hi.. if you already made the image directory as a virtual directory...
let say images folder

www.johndoe.com/images
where images is the virtual directory that refers as d:/images...

your url from pages will be like this...
image1.imageurl = "~/images/SomeImage.gif"

hope that helps

Thanks & Best of Luck

You should make a virtual directory MyImages on your site that will point to
d:\images. Having done that, you can address images as Image1.imageurl =
"~/MyImages/image1.jpg"

Hi Eliyahu and Masadur,

I've done that and the image still is not shown within the the browser.

I've first configued a virtual directory called MyImages in IIS. The
directory points to the directory D:\Images.
Within VS2005 I've coded
Image1.ImageUrl="~/MyImages/picturename.jpg"
After browsing the page at my development PC, the picture is not shown and a
red cross in the upper left corner shows me that the image couldn't be
retrieved. In case I right click at the image properties it shows

adres(URL) : http://localhost:1089/MyWeb/MyImages/picturename.jpg

Since it shows th name of the virtual directory after the root location of
MyWeb, I've tried another setting for the ImageUrl property (without the ~
character):

Image1.ImageUrl="/MyImages/picturename.jpg"

And it's still not working. The browser shows the picture properties as
adres(URL) : http://localhost:1089/MyImages/picturename.jpg

Any Idea how I can get this working?

regards,
Oscar
