Did I do this correctly? - Display resized image from DB.

[Neo Geshel]

Greetings.

I am making an admin interface, which allows me to upload photos to an
access DB. The admin interface also needs to display the uploaded
photos, but only needs to show them at a maximum resolution of 100px per
side. All photos will be JPEG. Below is a showimage.aspx file that
allows me to display the images from the database in the admin
interface. It doesn't seem to work right, so I believe I did something
wrong. It is supposed to take two variables (the table name and the
desired key) and extract the image, resize it proportionally, and then
display it. Could someone please look over it and correct any mistakes?

Neo,

This is typical a question for the newsgroup

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

(If you search that newsgroup using the Google newsgroups search you
probably find your answer as well, however you can ask of course too)

I hope this helps,

Cor

Why are these two newsgroups not appropriate? The code in question is
the showimage.aspx page, which is meant to be referenced by an
<asp:image /> tag inside of another asp.net page. As such, it is an
appropriate question for microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet. As
well, the code in question contains a DB connection using ADO.NET, so it
is also an appropriate question for
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.adonet, since I may have done
something wrong with the DB access itself.

I was under the impression that microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
only goes into general VB.NET programming for Windows, and not VB for
ASP.NET.

Did I say that?

Why? Your code is complete VBNet language.

In addition, because of the fact that you create your image on the
serverside complete in memory is the change in that newsgroup to get
solution higher. (Better it is often asked and answered there by more
persons, although the most by Bob Powell).

You are not only compressing using the standard thumbnail however as well
using the drawing classes.

My answer was only to help you.

However feel free not to take my advise.
