Don't cross post, but to answer your question, I believe you will need to write your own thumbnail generator. Luckly for you, here's one I already done :- Create a new Web Form and call it Thumbnail.aspx Put the following code in the code behind
Partial Class Thumbnail Inherits System.Web.UI.Page Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load Try Dim oImage As System.Drawing.Image Dim oThumbnail As System.Drawing.Image Dim sServerPath As String Dim sFileName As String Dim iWidth As Int16 Dim iHeight As Int16 sServerPath = AppPath() & Request.QueryString("p") sFileName = Request.QueryString("f") Try oImage = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(sFileName) Catch ex As Exception oImage = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(AppPath() & "Images\error.gif") End Try If Request.QueryString("w") = Nothing And Request.QueryString("h") Is Nothing Then iWidth = oImage.Width iHeight = oImage.Height ElseIf Not Request.QueryString("w") Is Nothing And Not Request.QueryString("h") Is Nothing Then iWidth = Request.QueryString("w") iHeight = Request.QueryString("h") ElseIf Not Request.QueryString("w") Is Nothing Then iWidth = Request.QueryString("w") iHeight = oImage.Height / (oImage.Width / iWidth) ElseIf Not Request.QueryString("h") Is Nothing Then iWidth = oImage.Width / (oImage.Height / iHeight) End If oThumbnail = oImage.GetThumbnailImage(iWidth, iHeight, Nothing, System.IntPtr.Zero) Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg" oThumbnail.Save(Response.OutputStream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg) oImage.Dispose() oThumbnail.Dispose() Catch ex As System.Exception 'Your error handling here End Try End Sub End ClassTo use the Thumbnail.aspx simply call into from the webpage you wish the thumbnail to appear like so :-The w parameter represents the width of the thumbnail, you call also use a h parameter for the height or combine the two. The f parameter is path to the image.Steve Jowett -------------
