For some strange reason my picture is not loading at runtime:
string path = Server.MapPath("./abc.jpeg");
Response.Write("the path is:");
Response.Write(path);
img_ProfilePic.ImageUrl = path;
As you see from above code, I have verified that the path is correct.
Also the image is only 20 KB and is JPEG.
My environment is VS 2008 C#
Thanks
Server.MapPath returns the physical (file system) path.
Image.ImageUrl requires a virtual path (or relative/absolute URL). You should use it like this for example:
img_ProfilePic.ImageUrl = "~/images/abc.jpeg";
img_ProfilePic.ImageUrl = "../abc.jpeg";
img_ProfilePic.ImageUrl = "http://www.host.com/abc.jpeg";
More on web project paths (check the Server Controls section which is specific to your problem): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178116.aspx
Right click on the "broken image" icon, and copy and paste the path into your browser. Do you get the image, a "broken image" or a 404?
Are you testing locally?
Replace string path = Server.MapPath("./abc.jpeg"); with string path = Server.MapPath("~/abc.jpeg");
