POC# Image Gallery - Image Button Not Showing
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm making a C# image gallery for a website (I know there's many free ones out there, but I want the experience). I'm grabbing files from a directory on the website by storing them in a array.</p> <pre><code>protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { string[] files = null; files = Directory.GetFiles(Server.MapPath(@"Pictures"),"*.jpg"); </code></pre> <p>I then am creating an array of Imagebuttons (which I will use as thumb-nails) and I'm dynamically adding them into a panel on the web form. However, the image buttons are added on the form correctly, but the pictures show the little square/circle/triangle symbol and fail to load the actual image. </p> <p>ImageButton[] arrIbs = new ImageButton[files.Length - 1];</p> <pre><code>for (int i = 0; i < files.Length-1; i++) { arrIbs[i] = new ImageButton(); arrIbs[i].ID = "imgbtn" + Convert.ToString(i); arrIbs[i].ImageUrl = Convert.ToString(files[i]); Response.Write(Convert.ToString(files[i]) + "**--**"); arrIbs[i].Width = 160; arrIbs[i].Height = 100; arrIbs[i].BorderStyle = BorderStyle.Inset; //arrIbs[i].BorderStyle = 2; arrIbs[i].AlternateText = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(Convert.ToString(files[i])); arrIbs[i].PostBackUrl = "default.aspx?Img=" + Convert.ToString(files[i]); pnlThumbs.Controls.Add(arrIbs[i]); } </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>This may or may not be related to the issue (if not related, it is a sub-question). When setting the Server.MapPath() to @"~/Gallery/Pictures" (which is where the directory is in relevance to the site root) I get an error. It states that "C:/.../.../.../... could not be found" The web-site only builds if I set the directory as "Pictures", which is where the pictures are, and "Pictures" is in the same folder as "Default.aspx" which the above code is at. I never have much luck with the ~ (tilda) character. Is this a file-structure issue, or a IIS issue?</p>

Querying!
