Re: Problem with creating Thumbnail Image within the Datalist?

I got it working. Everything is working fine if I just change my <img> tag to

img alt='<%# Eval("ProdTitle") %>' src='CreateThumbNail.aspx?image=images/collections/<%# Eval("Prodimgpath") %>' style="border: 0">

The problem was with the path of the images. Its good to know that we can even display the image through a .aspx page.

Problem with creating Thumbnail Image within the Datalist?

savvy — Wed, 07 Jun 2006 10:00:48 GMT

I want to create a Thumbnail Image from a given large Image and bind it to the Datalist with the datasource being Database. I followed this link given below

Creating Thumbnail Images on the fly with ASP.Net
http://west-wind.com/weblog/posts/283.aspx

according to link given, if we change the parameters of this link we can resize the image
http://www.west-wind.com/wwStore/demos/CreateThumbnail.aspx?image=images/WebStoreLogo_big.jpg&size=400
So, I created CreateThumbnail.aspx which has the same code and if i use the link as
http://localhost/myproject/CreateThumbnail.aspx?image=images/WebStoreLogo_big.jpg&size=400 which is working fine.
But I tried something like this within my datalist keeping the size as a constant value in the Createthumbnail.aspx , and its not working
<ItemTemplate>
<img alt='<%# Eval("ProdTitle") %>' src='CreateThumbNail.aspx?image=<%# Eval("Prodimgpath") %>' style="border: 0">
</ItemTemplate>
Is this the right way of doing this?

Thanks in advance for your help and time
