images not showing on dev-machine

I'm developping a web-app using VS2008 (Pro edition) on a Vista Ultimate
machine
..
For some reason images aren't shown, the only thing shown is the little
square with the circel, triangle and square in it.

Even if I set the ImageURL property in my Page_Load and set it to the
absolute path of the image, it doesn't show.
I have also tried using '~/Images/58.jpg' '/Images/58.jpg' 'Images/58.jpg'
but still the same result.

It's real annoying if something this simple just won't work.

Has anyone encountered this and maybe have some sort of solution for it ?

TIA,
Jurjen.

Ensure that images are appropriately stored and accessible when you
type the full url in the address bar, e.g.

http://localhost/Images/58.jpg (if site is located under root)

if images are there but you can't see them, it could be a permissions
issue, or a format problem

Re: images not showing on dev-machine

Does the account ASP.NET runs as have file permissions to access the images ?

Giving permissions to 'Everyone' is not enough.
Permissions must be given to the account ASP.NET runs as.

Unless you're impersonating, under XP the right account is the MachineName\ASPNET account.

If you don't know which account ASP.NET runs as, save the following as "identity.aspx" and run it:

identity.aspx:
--------------------
<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<%@ Import NameSpace = System.Security.Principal %>

It"s not access-rights (I think)

I have taken your advice and found out that my ASPNET account is actually NT
AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE. I have granted this user rights for the Image
folder, but the pictures aren't shown. I've granted this user rights from
the root level of my development folder but still the pictures don't show up
in the page.

I've also tried accessing Image-files through System.IO and reading the
content into a string and that works just fine, so I guess access-rights are
configured ok.

I'm a little lost as to what to do next.

Re: It"s not access-rights (I think)

If the ASP.NET account has the necessary permissions,
it's likely that you have a problem in your code.

Can you post the code you use to access the image files ?

Re: Extra Information, problem not solved yet

1. It's wrong to use "~" in urls (or src) if you do not have runat=server.
The reason is that only for HTML tags marked as runat=server src is
processed with .NET and ~ is replaced.

2. "/Image/58.jpg" is called absolute address cause it starts with "/". "/"
means root of the webserver not a root of the project. So most likely you
should have "/ProjectName/Iamge/58.jpg"

3. "Images/58.jpg" is called relative address. Browser resolves it to
absolute address based on where page is.
If page's URL is http://localhost/project/myfolder/mypage.aspx then
"Images/58.jpg" will be resolved to
http://localhost/project/myfolder/Images/58.jpg

So most likely solution to your problem is to specify correct absolute
address for your images
like "/ProjectName/Iamge/58.jpg"

Re: It"s not access-rights (I think)

Juan,

It's just a very straightforward simple test-page so here it comes. There's
no code in the code-behind.
The weird thing is that the first and second image don't show in the
(vs2008) Designer, but the other 5 do show just fine. When running the page
they are not visible.

Here's the code I used to access an image file, just to make sure that the
'ASPNET' could :

String FileName = MapPath("~/Images/58.jpg");
System.IO.StreamReader sr = new
System.IO.StreamReader(FileName );
String Content = sr.ReadToEnd();
sr.Close();

thanks for your effort,
Jurjen.

Binary read is working.

But browsing in the web browser is not working.

Right?

If the format of the file is correct (it's not a text, or any other
file saved with the .jpg extension) and you can open it in Paint, or
Photoshop, but not in the browser, then it could be a format problem.
There are some situations when browsers (at least IE and FF) cannot
show some jpeg files, if I'm not wrong, in CMYK encoding. In this case
you can save file in RGB to see if this helps.
