C# - Using Ghostscript In A Webapplication (PDF Thumbnails)?
Mar 24, 2010
i am using the ghostscriptsharp wrapper for c# and ghostscript. I want to generate thumbnails out of pdf-files. Further Information on the sample-code are given here.There are different Methods imported form the ghostscript-c-dll "gsdll32.dll".
I am using GhostScript to generate some thumbnails of PDF pages in an ASP.NET application. I have it wrapped in this library called GhostScriptSharp that just uses DllImport to call methods in the GhostScript DLL.It looks like this wont work on a medium trust hosting environment, either because of the fact that it is calling unmanaged code, or that it looks like the library is creating files all over the place (outside my virtual directory). I ran Process Monitor and saw it trying to Read, QueryNameInformationFile, CreateFile and QueryStandardInformationFile in places like:
C:WINDOWSsystem32HalftoneDefault or C:gsgs8.63libHalftoneDefault or C:gsfontHalftoneDefault
Any ideas about whether this is "fixable" to run in medium trust? If I can't use GhostScript, is there another free/open source library that WILL work in Medium trust?
I need to create a thumbnail solution in order to display pictures of products. There can be more than 1 thumbnail per product and I need a way to enlarge the image as well. The thumbnails will be displayed in atleast 3 or 4 pages across the system and I need the ability to delete them as well. For version 2 of the software (knowing PM's it may be thrown into Version 1), I think I will need to be able to enhance this feature to allow movie clips so that's something I need to keep in mind. The images will be stored in the DB so I can sort the code to retrieve them but I'm originally a windows programmer and this is my first major ASP.NET project and also my first attempt at C#.
I have ran into an issue where I have to use ASP.NET to do a Thumbnail of images uploaded since the hosting company does not have any of the required ASP Classic 3rd party utilities that I can use. I have played around with several different Upload scripts before I found a tutorial on using: Uploadify (Love this script) with ASP.NET. [URL] What I am needing to do with the script is to create Thumbnails of the images that are uploaded, and when I try to do so, I get an IO Error. I was informed that I would have to create a Web Application instead of the Web Site as the web application would give me the default.aspx.designer.cs file for setting the FileUpload control as Public to be used in the upload.ashx file. But after doing that it basically breaks the code. What works in the Web Site, does not seem to want to work in the Web Application. What I would like from the .NET community is some help in making the Uploadify script to create Thumbnails. The script for the Thumbnails that I am using (or trying to use) is here
My task is to display gallery for a particular school...i'm displaying thumbnails in a datalist...And when i mouse over on a particular thumbnail it must display the actual image in a panel....All the thumbnails and images are stored in the database(in byte format)...
Problem is when i'm executing its displaying blank image..
- In have a website where users can upload their photo and along with their profile.- I store the photo as binary data in database.- Using ASP.NET MVC 2.0 FileContent option, I display Photo back in the browser, when user view his/her profile detailsQuestion: Currently I am showing image as-is and not restricting width/height, so that users see exactly whatever image they uploaded as-is without distortion. However I want to do like every other website: Show only smaller image alwayswith fixed size and allow user to click on it to pop-up and show original image as-is in pop-up.NOTE: I can do this simply restricting width and height to fixed limits but still show original image. But in this case image is distorted as it was not originally designed for this dimension.This very basic question and I am seeing many options, including some libraries. But don't know what is best way to do this using ASP.NET MVC 2.0
I have a website that enable the user to upload pics to server (uploaded pics sizes are 300x400 and approximately 270kb). In my app. I am having another page that lists the pics and I am using there an image control for that purpose. The Image control sizes are 80px width, 60px height. My question is how can I improve the download speed by minimizing the images ? Do I have to create a thumbnail for each picture the user upload?
i would like to ask help coz i dont know how to create thumbnails images using datalist control and i am newbie to this control datalist, i have a database table with contains 3 cols which are employeeid, fullname, and imagepath, now i what to load the employee id, the fullname and the imagepath which actually contains only the path of actual image(which is located on imagefolder). my problem is how am i going to load that 3 info. i'm using asp.net c#
We need to display all the thumbnails in one folder (e.g. c:/photos/101/tn/ folder) and then select one image as cover photo. Once the editor clicks on the "Set Cover Image" button, grab the select photo ID. Once the id is grabbed, I will store the info in the database.
We are planning to introduce Load balancing in our server environment. Our site has lots of thumbnails (Thumbimages) to get displayed on the website. As all the images should be there under Web directory to get displayed on web site, do I need to maintain these TNs in all the servers? Is there any other way to accomplish this?
I'm trying to create my own image viewer w/thumbnails using a datalist control. I found some ASP.Net code that utilizes another ".aspx" page to view the images. However, I wish to load the thumbnail images into a DataList control on my page and not another page. I've never done this before so I'm a little confused on the highlighted piece of code.
I have googled around for a solution and it seems that a lot of posts are dealing with these kind of things. Unfortunatley none of them seem to help me. I'm trying to resize an image dynamically to create a thumbnail. I'm basically loading a current JPEG into an image object and using the following commands to create a new image:
[Code]....
I put the image which I get from the code next to a manual re-size which was made in Photoshop. You cannot even compare between the two, the dynamic one looks so blurry when you compare it to the one made in Photoshop. Is there a way around this? I imagine Microsoft found a solution for this by now. Otherwise I will have to upload manually 4-5 different versions to every image on my website which doesn't sound right to me.
Is it possible to display thumbnails for the photos when uploading them to the server? Say, when user selects a photo on the local drive, a thumbnail is displayed on the page for preview and when user clicks on the "Upload" button, the photo will be sent to server.
Ii've made a Listview showing photos from database as thumbnails in a "kind of a film strip", including a pager.What i need is that when i click on a thumbnail inside the ListView, to show the large photo in a image control outside the listview. this should work using the selectedIndexChanged event,
It installs the webapp and puts it into the appropriate virtual directory.
So far so good.
My question now is: how do I set folder write permission?
My problem is, I can set the permissions programmatically, but I need to know the IIS user the application runs under, since it's that user that need the permissions.
