I'm trying to use the WebImage (included with in assembly System.Web.Helpers with MVC 3 RC2) class to manipulate images, like cropping, resizing, etc.... I've found that when using with PNG images with alpha transparency the result of the transformation is rendered with black background or with bad distortions; that problem happens only with transparent PNG, other file formats are ok.
View 2 RepliesI'll give a very simple example:
at the moment I have to write like this:
<% Html.RenderPartial("hello", new HelloInput { Name = "Jimmy" } ); %>
I would like to be able to like this:
<%=Html.Hello("Jimmy") %>
So I would like to know how create this helper:
public static string Hello(this HtmlHelper helper, string name)
{
return the result of rendering partial view "hello" with HelloInput{ Name = name };
}
Any tips on where to start looking/investigate Re how to code pages to only load/render images when that part of the page is visible ?

I need to use images in my ASP.NET MVC application that are not included in the application, but are saved in the file system of the server under the c/documents folder.

I need a place to store images. My first thought was to use the database, but many seems to recommend using the filesystem. This seems to fit my case, but how do I implement it?
The filenames need to be unique, how to do that. Should I use a guid?
How to retrieve the files, should I go directly to the database using the filename, make a aspx page and passing either filename or primary key as a querystring and then read the file.
What about client side caching, is that enabled when using a page like image.aspx?id=123 ?
How do I delete the files, when the associated record is deleted?
I would like to know which is better? Storing images in BLOB or in the File System ? I've got around 400 to 5000 images.
And at run time there are chances where I'll need to retirieve about 100 - 150 images.
Assumptions: Microsoft stack (ASP.NET; SQL Server).
Some content management systems handle user-generated content (images, file attachments) by storing it in the file system. Others store these items in the back end database.
Some examples of both:
[code]....
What's the best approach, and why? What are the pros and cons of keeping user files in the database? Is there another approach?

View 1 RepliesI've been watching a video on Scott Hanselmnn teaching MVC 2 tricks/tips. He mentions how MVC 2 by default uses ASP.NET Web Forms view engine to render the output of the views; he mentions that the web forms view engine is a little slower than it could be for MVC 2 since it generates a control tree and then outputs the HTML to the page (I hope I said that right).
I was wondering what he meant by web forms generating a code tree before outputting the HTML to the page. Does anyone have insight on the view engine of Web forms and the steps of the rendering process works for ASP.NET and MVC2?
I've been trying to get image caching working for the last 8 hours and I keep the same problem time and time again, I'm trying to cache Images at the moment and then when thats succesful, apply this to cache my js and css files. I have at the moment Sql Dependancy caching working on my dynamic pages but the page still takes to long due to images not caching.
What I have tried is going to IIS7 Management and adding HTTP Response Header for the images folder and setting various things for the cache control.i dont care how long it caches it on the client or on the proxy servers i just would like it to check when the file was modified and compare it with the one in the client or proxy cache and if they are different then fetch the new image which has been ftp up. i could solve this by changing the image name but the thing is the image name is generated when they are ftp'd to the site by an application and the name is a direct reference to the product so i cant change the name each time, as it would mean making a lot of otherpages accross the board.
so What i would like, is to set and expiry date of lets say 32 days or more on the images and then check to see if they have changed by date modified or some other way of checking(Etags maybe) I'm not sure, if they have changed on the server then redownload and recache them, I tried using post-check and pre-check together but that just permantly cached them, so when i change the image the only way it would display the new image is to just hit F5.
In Brief, how can i Cache images, on the client machine/ proxy cache and recache them when the modified date of the file has changed.

I wanted to combine app_themes css files into one on the fly. I did so using Mads Cristensen technique. But now all elements that has background image defined through css (see picture) don't display image. I believe that is because css files are not relatively referenced anymore (../), but through axd file. I'm trying to fix this by changing reference to image files without success. I already tried background: url("~/App_Themes/44/images/myimage.gif") and this works for pages that combined css. But the problem is that there are other pages in this project that don't use this css combining and now they lost reference to background images.
