.NET 2.0: <img...> not displayed

[R.A.M.]

Hello,
(sorry for my English...)
Could you help me please with one asp.net problem? I am beginner...

I am writting simple Demo .NET application. On start page I have:

<h1>Demo .NET</h1>
<br />
<p style="vertical-align: middle;">
<img src="App_Data/DotNet_360x280.jpeg" alt="Microsoft .NET
version 2.0" width="360" height="280"
onclick="location.href='Login.aspx'"/>
<br />
...
</p>

I don't understand why when I run the application image
DotNet_360x280.jpeg is not shown (frame only).
When I have written URL of the picture
(.../App_Data/DotNet_360x280.jpeg) in the browser I receive HTTP error
403 - Forbidden.
JPEG file exists in App_Data folder.
How to solve the problem? The HTML text is displayed correctly.

Thank you very much for your answers.

APP_Data folder is sacred folder which framework does not allow direct
access to. You need to move the image to some other place.

why do you have an image in the app_data folder? I don't know if you
can browse to the app_data folder. if you have the image as an
embedded resource, you will load the image from the assembly using the
full name of the resource. Here's a link on how to use embedded
resources in asp.net
