I am new in .net and have some confusions and problems

I have an image file saved at C:\memberimages\image1.jpg and I have create an ASP.net image control named memberImage and I want it to display this image, how can I?

I have tried memberImage.ImageUrl="C:\\memberimages\\image1.jpg"; but it is not working. I don't want to save images to Application folder.

I want to ask 2 things

1)  How can I display that image in memberImage image control?

2)  If I want to display image from a URL e.g www.abc.com/image.jpg then what will be the string literal for memberImage.ImageUrl?

Note: I am using C#

Eliyahu:

If you web site or project includes a folder called Images, and you store your images there, then the virtual path will be Images/abc.gif

Hi jadoon88,

Base on my experience, you can try to use the following solution to solve your problem: 

SOLUTION:

To grant ASP.NET or other needed account write access to a folder, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the needed account, and check the boxes for the desired access.

Can't find security tab in Windows XP Professional :S how can I do this :'(

1. Open Windows Explorer;
   
   
2. When the C:\ folder opens, click on the Tools menu and then select Folder Options.
   
   
3. Click on the View tab.
   
   
4. Under Advanced Settings scroll down to the end and uncheck Use simple file sharing (Recommended).
   
   
5. Press the Apply button and then the OK button.

You will now be able to see the Security tab in a folder or file's properties

fimine:

1. Open Windows Explorer;
   
   
2. When the C:\ folder opens, click on the Tools menu and then select Folder Options.
   
   
3. Click on the View tab.

Thankyou very much! Now problem is I have allowed full access (for testing purposes) and still get this error

Groups or user names Iisted here are

Administrators
SYSTEM
Umair Khan Jadoon (My name)

there is no ASP.NET user name or group name listed here. I have tried finding the users by clicking Advanced>Advanced>Find Now  and still there's no ASP.NET user name or group found. Please help me its driving me crazy. I am using Visual Web Developer 2005 Professional and IIS 5 on Windows XP Professional

 I am currently on a Domain controlled machine so it works a little differently. But try adding these to the list:

YOURCOMPUTERNAME\ASPNET

or just add "Everyone"  - a big security hole though.

Also, don't use folders outside your root ASP.NET application folder - make all your temps as subfolders. This way you can simply run Permissions Wizard from your IIS. Plus, if you are publishing your website from VS2005 be aware of the fact that it erases and recreates everything on the "remote" location - permissions as well.

adding ComputerName\ASPNET didnt worked, I wznt able to add it. and adding "Everyone" still gives that error

...in properties of folder, under security tab, after clicking advanced>advanced>find now I can see the following groups and usernames listed there...can't find ASPNET :S ...I don't knwo whats hapening

then add IUSR_COMPUTERNAME

if that doesn't help add NETWORK SERVICE.

 

 

Actually, what OS are you running? How do you add the names?

DON'T CLICK ADVANCED!!! 

I do it the following way in WinXP SP2:

1.  Right Click on the folder from Windows Explorer

2.  Go to Security tab

3.  Click Add

4.  Click Locations...

5. Choose my computer at the very top

6.  Back at the select users and groups window to the left of the "Check names" button type "ASPNET" and press that button;

7. The name should get your computer name attached at the left and get underlingned.

8. Press ok.

9. Follow the obvious from there.  

still noo :'( I have added "Everyone" too
