My Disk is BAD

My stupid disk is BAD. Why the MBR!!! Why was it hit by a cosmic ray!!!

I'm going to regret asking this :-> but why do you think your disk is bad and what is it about the MBR that's wrong. I'm sorry my cosmic ray mis-fired and hit you. I was trying to snipe mosquitos and one of my mirrors in my terra-array got bumped by my 18 month old daughter. I've not got some bubble gum holding it in place so the odds are less that it might mis-fire again. ... Now back to your HDD... What gives? Tell us more as some of us may have some ideas for you...:cool: Of course it's entirely possible you know it's X| as you saw the little :badger: beating it with a hammer and if so we'll join you in R.I.P. :rose:

That there is the best use of emoticons (especialle the badger) and free time ive seen on these forums..But then ofcourse, i dont visit the soapbox...

Well I'm actually searching the web high and low for code that would allow you to pull an image from a database convert it to a byte[] array and stream it into an image control in asp .net and it would appear that my fictional laser would be easier to pull off as there's not a single example out there that explains a way to do this. So I figured to pass away time wilst I restarted firefox by expressing my own boredom and frustration of the moment...:sigh:

no need for excuses ;P and as to your problem, do you _have_ to stream it? if im understanding correctly, cant you just create an image object from the byte[] and then output that to the client? if nothing else, create a separate page that does that...and then reference it with an index of the item in the DB or something. all that page would do is just output the image(gotten from the byte[]) and set its(page's) output type(or whatever its called) to image(/jpeg or something else, cant remember).

Yes, I can do that and I've seen that as an option but it sure seems like there should be a more elegant solution. I'd like to page the stream into memory and then build the image from the byte stream out of memory. It's looking like I'll have to use what you suggest or do something along the lines of RequestImage->WriteStreamToFile->DisplayImage.ImageURL(FilePath)->DeleteFile which is a lot more IO than I want and disk access is always a total annoyance at least they are 15,000 RPM SCSI drives but still... With all the *HYPE* in .Net and considering how *EASY* the same thing is in Winforms you'd think they would have take that tiny bit of effort to make it the same in ASP .Net. There are times where I really do wish I had the code to the framework...:suss: I'm going to pester the guys in the ASP.Net forum just to make sure I'm not overlooking something...

You could always learn ASM and find a disassembler you like..... And for the streaming thing, I remember I've spent a fair amount of time on trying to find that, although back in the days(heh, ok, not _THAT_ long ago) of .Net 1.0 and the only way I could get it to work is from a separate page. Ive actually tried the save-to-file-read-from-it-delete-it solution. was too slow and my HDD hated it. If you find something though, do share. i'm very interested in this, jsut for personal knowledge.

I'm fairly sure I've seen this done as an HttpHandler - .ashx file. Example: http://www.dotnetmaniac.com/ArticleViewer.aspx?Key={60bf8794-bb75-4c7b-b0fa-8a7e0a63540a}[^].

If I could rate you more than a 5, I would. I guess I gotta start learning things from books and not through self-experimentation. ASP.Net might be one of them, although i VERY much dislike all that is .Net. Ironically, we use C# at work(not a web app).
