I am using right code to show pic but it does not showing pic. Is there is my visual studio fault or any special changes required in visual studio.
is there any requirement of folder sharing which is outside the website folder.

What I have tried:

Code is..
<asp:Image id="b1" runat="server" Alt="Pic" width="300" height="400" ImageUrl="q:/newfolder/1.jpg />"

Solution 1

Syntax error in this code:

ASP.NET

<asp:Image id="b1" runat="server" Alt="Pic" width="300" height="400" ImageUrl="q:/newfolder/1.jpg />"

correction is:

ASP.NET

<asp:Image id="b1" runat="server" Alt="Pic" width="300" height="400" ImageUrl="q:/newfolder/1.jpg" />

Quote:
q:/newfolder/1.jpg

Is not an URL, thus can't be used to access a file on server.
From client side point of view, this try to access a file on client computer, which is forbidden.

Thanks sir
<asp:Image id="b1" runat="server" Alt="Pic" width="300" height="400" ImageUrl="q:/newfolder/1.jpg" />

I use this with your correction but it still not working. It shows only alternate text, pic not showing.
