Hi,
In this article i am going to create an http Handler which is used to resize my images and display it .
What are HTTP Handlers?
HTTP handlers are the .NET components that implement the System.Web.IHttpHandler interface, they can act as a target for the incoming HTTP requests and can be called directly by using their file name in the URL.
HTTP handlers implement the following two methods:
1) ProcessRequest: called to process http requests and
2) IsReusable which indicates whether this instance of http handler can be reused for fulfilling another requests of the same type.
In your website Add new Item Generic Handler and name it as ImageHandler.ashx
Here is ImageHandler.ashx file
<%@ WebHandler Language="C#" Class="ImageHandler" %>
using System;
using System.Web;
using System.IO;
public class ImageHandler : IHttpHandler
{
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
string sImageFileName = "";
int iThumbSize = 0;
decimal dHeight, dWidth, dNewHeight, dNewWidth;
sImageFileName = context.Request.QueryString["img"];
iThumbSize = Convert.ToInt32(context.Request.QueryString["sz"]);
System.Drawing.Image objImage = System.Drawing.Bitmap.FromFile(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("Image Path" + sImageFileName));
if (sImageFileName != null)
{
if (iThumbSize == 1)
{
dHeight = objImage.Height;
dWidth = objImage.Width;
dNewHeight = 120;
dNewWidth = dWidth * (dNewHeight / dHeight);
objImage = objImage.GetThumbnailImage((int)dNewWidth, (int)dNewHeight, new System.Drawing.Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort(callback), new IntPtr());
}
if (iThumbSize == 2)
{
dHeight = objImage.Height;
dWidth = objImage.Width;
dNewHeight = 200;
dNewWidth = dWidth * (dNewHeight / dHeight);
objImage = objImage.GetThumbnailImage((int)dNewWidth, (int)dNewHeight, new System.Drawing.Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort(callback), new IntPtr());
}
MemoryStream objMemoryStream = new MemoryStream();
objImage.Save(objMemoryStream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
byte[] imageContent = new byte[objMemoryStream.Length];
objMemoryStream.Position = 0;
objMemoryStream.Read(imageContent, 0, (int)objMemoryStream.Length);
context.Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";
context.Response.BinaryWrite(imageContent);
}
}
private bool callback()
{
return true;
}
public bool IsReusable
{
get
{
return false;
}
}
}
Following is the way to write it..
<img id="Image1" src='../ImageHandler.ashx?img=ImageName&sz=1' />
The ASP.NET Wiki was started by Scott Hanselman in February of 2008. The idea is that folks spend a lot of time trolling the blogs, googlinglive-searching for answers to common "How To" questions. There's piles of fantastic community-created and MSFT-created content out there, but if it's not found by a search engine and the right combination of keywords, it's often lost.
The ASP.NET Wiki articles moved to CodeProject in October 2013 and will live on, loved, protected and updated by the community.
