IO Exception in ASP .NET

[silvia.rafat]

Dear,
i'm developping a web application that where clients may
1- upload images to DB (SQL Server).
2- view the image from DB.

i store the images in DB through the data type 'image'
to upload images i open a file stream (on client machine) and read the
data from the image file as byte()

the same way i do for viewing the images

i creat a temperory file stream (on server) and read the byte() from db
so i can give the image web control a path to show the image
[i failed to find another way , or even creat a file on client
machine ]

the problem i had is the IO Exception access denied in both reading and
writing the file stream, i even changed the defaul windows
authentication...
to forms authentication.. & still give me the same exception althought
when i traced the User.Identity ..he is login & authenticated
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeas
help i spend alot of of time and failed to find any solution
great thanx for any 1 helps me

if you are using impersonate=true then you have to give rigths in the folder
of ourt application , but if you dont use that, you have to give full rigths
to APSNET account for the directory where you are saving the file.

I'm not sure we know each other well enough for you to call me "Dear" but
I'll take it as a sign of general friendliness. ;-)

I could go over how to set the permissions you need, but in fact, you don't
need any. It isn't necessary to create a Temp File. You can use a
MemoryStream instead of a Filestream, and read the data into the
MemoryStream and then stream it to the browser. Now, you're about to ask,
how are you supposed to put an image link into an HTML page without a file?
Excellent question, Silvia! You do it by creating an ASPX page that serves
as the "file." It sets the Response.ContentType to "image/jpeg" (or whatever
MIME type you're sending), and saves the image to the Response.OutputStream.
The browser then ingores the file extension, and uses the MIME type to
display the dynamically-generated image. You just put the ASPX page's URL
into an image tag as you would with any image file.

I haven't seen your code so I don't know where your bug is.
But I do have a working code sample for you so you can compare your code to
it:
