Hey,

Are you talking about an image that you want the user to upload from their machine onto the server, or are you talking about an image on the hard drive of the web server.

You will have to move the image into a folder under the main root of your web site, that way you can provide a navigatable url to the image, which you can reference from the client.

Hey gep!!

you are correct but i should know, how to find the main root folder and place my image. I had tried that, but i cant pick that image from root folder in imageurl.

Hello rnjnagu,

Are you hosting the site under IIS, or are you debugging it straight out of Visual Studio?

The term root folder, normally refers to where the virtual directory in IIS points to. For ASP.Net Applications, this is typically the folder that contains the site's web.config file.

Are you trying to provide a mechanism for users to upload images onto your site, or are you just trying to add images to your site through Visual Studio?

Can you also elaborate on what you mean by:

I had tried that, but i cant pick that image from root folder in imageurl.

Because I am not sure that I follow.

Hi gary,

I am just trying to place image in visual studio. I am new to ASP.net. I am beginner

For ex,

Use the following steps:

1) Open Solution Explorer
2) Right click on your project and select Add | New Folder
3) Give it a name (typically something like img, or images
4) Right click on your new folder, and select Add | Existing Item...
5) Browse to the file that you want to add, and click Add
6) Select that image in solution explorer, open the Properties window for it, and make sure you set the "Copy to Output Directory" property to "Copy Always"

From there, you should be able to navigate to the image when you set the ImageUrl property of you image control.

Hope that helps!
