well, *something* has to handle the request - if not your custom handler then .NET itself, so as long as you pass it straight back if no editing is required I wouldn't worry too much... If [condition] Then ' amend image ...Save(context.Response.OutputStream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg) Else ' send original image straight to browser context.Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg" context.Response.WriteFile([FilePath]) End If Otherwise, if you can separate your images into different folders such that all those that need amending are all in a particular folder then you can re-write the path="*.jpg" attribute in your web.config accordingly...

setTimeout(function() { myfunc(param1, param2, param3); }, 300); ...should work in most browsers, and will call myfunc passing whatever you give it (in this case, param1, param2, param3); You could also write a helper function to make this a bit cleaner: function setTimeoutParam(ms, func) {   var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 2);   setTimeout(function() { func.apply(this, args); }, ms); } ...which you can then call with the timeout value, function, and any number of desired parameters to that function, for example: setTimeoutParam(1000, alert, "called after 1 second"); Citizen 20.1.01 'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master - that's all.'

You should look at writing a HttpHandler[^] that handles requests for HTML files within your website. Paul Marfleet

RX Maverick wrote: and so far I can't figure out a nice way to make a single like way to crop, I think you're asking if there is a "single LINE" way to crop an image. No, there isn't. You have to create a new bitmap the size you want the cropped image to be, then copy the bits from the old bitmap to the new one. RX Maverick wrote: Would it be better for me to do both at once (resize and crop) by making a second image and using DrawImage like in the code below (currently it just crops)? You could do it in one operation, but I wouldn't for right now. Get your app to work the way you want first, without worrying about wasting a ton of resources. If you're not constantly resizing and cropping an image, then this code should work just fine. It's one image operation. You're not really taxing the processor at all doing this.

Use the overload of the ReadAllText method that takes an encoding to specify the encoding that was used to create the file. Example: text = File.ReadAllText(path, Encoding.UTF8) --- single minded; short sighted; long gone;

By design, the DataList control uses the TableStyle to apply the style for the control when it is rendered, and the tablestyle basically will emit the the Border-Collapse stuff when the CellSpacing is 0.So there are a couple of options to work around here: + Assign a value (gt&0) to the CellSpacing property of the control. + Define your own custom TabelStyle and override the CreateControlStyle method of the DataList control. + Override one of the methods called when the control is rendered like Render or RenderContents .... to get rid of the Border-Collapse.

The exact effects of the ASP Class members to html output is poorly ducumented. Perhaps I'll find sth more exactly on google. I'll let you know. Good Luck Klaus

RX Maverick wrote: I would like to use this with AJAX but in doing so I can't have it in a form element Really? I thought that could be done. You have the calendar in an UpdatePanel, which would be in a <form> element, right?

RX Maverick wrote: I know there is ASP.NET AJAX You mean ATLAS ? Yeah, that exists, and it's pretty simple to use, but expensive as well. RX Maverick wrote: I have my AJAX calling an aspx file, what I'm doing so far is working, but Visual Studio seems unhappy that my AJAX aspx file have no html, head, body or forms tags Just turn that validation off.

RX Maverick wrote: Also, I'd like to make most of my controls AJAX enabled (and VS doesn't expect to see the html, head, etc. tags) but I can't directly access them (because they're .ascx files).

I think there are many ways to do what you want. You can programmatically access the Header[^] of the current page using the Page.Header[^] property and simply add the stylesheet. You can also do as someone said by injecting text or control (should use the HtmlLink Class instead of the generic one).

Create a DataTable, and populate that from your code behind. Then do your manipulation, and set the datasource, and databind.
