Why not copy the image to your project?

You generally cannot access files outside of the web root by direct means.

What you can do is make an intermediary aspx page, whos job it is to "serve up" the image, aka read the image from the harddrive and then return it as page content.

Then you would set your image control url to be like "MyIntermedPage.aspx?image=tree.gif"

Can't you write some code to determine which quarter you are in and display the appropriate image stored in your project?

HEy Guys thanks for anticipation

Here is my original Post. I am working on dynamic application. Images in each quater folder will keep changing every year. so i can not include all quaters images
in my project.
