will local path as imageurl will show the image in client side

Hello

I have given ImageUrl property as C:\Buttons.gif... this image is display in IIS installed server. But when i access the same page in client machine.. the picture is not displaying

How can i make available a local path picture to client side machines.

i dont want to copy the picture to application directory ... is there any away for accessing the picture from any path in the server...

thankzzzzzzzzz

u have to include this image in project directory and have to use relative path to show image...for example lets say your IIS folder maps to directory Project and if your image is placed in Project\Image folder than u can access image using.... ~Images/Button.gif or you can use server.mappath("Images\Button.gif") to get absolute path.

When you use

<img src="C:\somepath\image.jpg" />

The browser will look for that image on the client's machine. If this is only on your machine, how can you expect everyone in the world to have that exact same folder structure and image?

It's for this reason that you need to specify the src as some sort of an HTTP:// location.

It is, however, possible to create an ASP.NET page that reads the image from your non-virtual directory folder and writes it out using Response.WriteFile().
