Not sure if this has been answered, but a find/replace to replace ".jpg" with ".png" enabled support for png's. So yeah, that can be done.

@Sayed Mohamed: I really think that is the problem. Are you sure the bin directory is directly under a directory that is configured in IIS to be an application?

"CS0246: The type or namespace name 'com' could not be found"

I'm sure that the MetaDataExtractor.dll is loaded to the Bin directory .

What is the problem ?

@noonway: well, that's not a scenario I had in mind. There is a new version on the way though and I can try to see what I can do, but I can make no promises about when that's going to be out.

@Bertrand: But if I point both controls at the same URL I get the full Gallery list instead of just a particular gallery.

What I'm trying to do is build a menu called Gallery that shows all the sub-galleries on one .aspx page but then if the user selects a particular Gallery from the menu it would only show that secondary gallery and not the main or tertiary galleries. I could probably recode the handler to take an argument with the directory I want to show, but I don't really have the time to delve that deeply into the code.

Oh well, I guess I'll just use the single gallery and let the users select which sub-gallery they want to use directly from the main.aspx.

Great work here, by the way. I never would have thought to use caching the way you did and appreciate the tutorial. :)

Thanks!

@noonway: right, Web Application Projects are not something I've considered. On the other hand, if you're using it as a control, I'm not sure you need two copies. Pointing both controls to the same url should in principle work.

@Bertrand: You were telling Russ...

@Russ: why don't you put a handler.ashx in each of the image directories?

I am attempting to do this - using as a user control - with the following Directory Structure:

Main Photos (album.ashx here, main.aspx with the @register src of ~/Main Photos/album.ashx, secondary.aspx with the @register src of ~/Main Photos/Secondary Photos/album.ashx, and tertiary.aspx with the @register src of ~/Main Photos/album.ashx)

|__ Secondary Photos (album.ashx - HandlerUrl changed to ~/Main Photos/Secondary Photos/album.ashx)

|__ Tertiary Photos (album.ashx - HandlerUrl changed to ~/Main Photos/Tertiary Photos/album.ashx)

But when I drop the handler in the subdirectories, modify the HandlerUrl and compile the code I get the following errors in each of my .aspx pages as well as the compiled DLLs.

Error 38 The type 'Bleroy.Photo.Album' exists in both 'c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\photos\d81285ef\ee16f919\App_Web_lsjmicgf.dll' and 'c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\photos\d81285ef\ee16f919\App_Web_plpl094z.dll' c:\Projects\company\main.aspx 10

I've never used .ashx files before so I feel like I may be missing something easy here... I tried renaming the namespaces to no avail. Any other suggestions?

@Justin: you need to copy the dll that comes with the release into the bin folder of the application.
