hello all,

background info:
i have a vb.net web application.
the user who runs this appliaction creates an image file at runtime.
this file is saved as [username].jpeg and is held on the web server.
this file is then copied into an sql server database.
there are two uses for this;
1) it is loaded into a data set so it can be displayed within a crystal report.
2) an asp:image called "UserImage" is given the url as : "http://<server>/<directory>/" & Session("username") & ".jpeg" to be displayed in the browser window.

in case 1 the web browser exports the crystal report into a .pdf format and is loaded within the current window.

in case 2 the UserImage.imageurl is set to above location and the UserImage.visible is set to true.

my problem:
when the user creates a new image, niether the exported pdf file or the UserImage have the up to date image displayed, until i press refresh(f5).

my question:
How can i reload the image? - do i have to unload the image before loading it, do you need some of my code?

please help, v.Urgent!
thanks,

tom.
