Yes it's possible.if you maintain separate drive (on another server),it will even increase your application performance.

You can even use cloud drives where you can upload the images and can refer those images in your application.

Thanks sir.

@Arjunan, can you please explain how application performance is increase if i place all my assets (images,logo etc) to separate drive?

Arjsrya 3-Jan-15 2:13am

you are creating an application like facebook where you are dealing with million of images in a day.You are giving a features like News feed,handling all friend requests,Post messages on wall,Timeline,Dealing with all user's notifications.

If you do everything in a single server,Performance will affect right?If you store images,Videos on another server or another machine,definitely it will increase the scalibility of the performance.No one is hosting everything in a single machine.

Tejas Vaishnav 3-Jan-15 4:20am

If you are hosting all the assets in different server then definitely scalability and performance is increased, i agree for that. But you are talking about storing it in different drive, like my application/website is hosted from C:\ drive and i am storing assets on d:\ drive on same server, then nothing will happens related to performance. if you goes for another separate assets server then its great thing to improve performance.

@Arjunan & @Tejas Please help me for same issue because i am facing Drive full problem when i uploading documents of employee's. So i just want to it will stored on another drive then application will work smoothly.

Member 11221185 3-Jan-15 2:19am

Ok Sir, But how can i do that i am not getting?

Arjsrya 3-Jan-15 2:28am

What are you not getting?Let me give you a sample scenario.You have 2 servers.Server A and Server B

Server A - It has all your allpication logics.

Server B - You have created a seperate host where you are storing all your images.
Create a virtual directory,It should be public domain so all the images whatever you host will be accessible from Server A.

I hope this link will you an idea

href='../Images/Emp Docs/<%#Eval("Salary_URL")%>' this is my now reference.
But now i want to store on //192.168.1.3/keshav/ images so can i go through this path?

Arjsrya 3-Jan-15 3:14am

yes.Share the code if possible.I will help you.

Suggestion:Store all the images into the seperate server.Create an HTTP handler to retrieve images.Use that url in your application.

Refer these web sites.You will get an idea.

2. http://aspalliance.com/1322_Displaying_Images_in_ASPNET_Using_HttpHandlers.5

Let me know if you need any help

Member 11221185 3-Jan-15 4:31am

Sir will you understand my code?

Member 11221185 3-Jan-15 3:20am

My source code is this: & Upload button coding is this:
protected void btnUpLoad_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
mydt = (DataTable)(ViewState["mydatatable"]);
//DataRow myrow = mydt.NewRow();
DataRow myrow = mydt.NewRow();
int fileSize = fuDocument.PostedFile.ContentLength;
if (fuDocument.HasFile && fileSize > 0)
{
string ext = fuDocument.FileName.Substring(fuDocument.FileName.LastIndexOf(".")).ToLower();
if (ext == ".doc" || ext == ".txt" || ext == ".pdf" || ext == ".xls" || ext == ".jpg" || ext == ".gif" || ext == ".bmp" || ext == ".png" || ext == ".jpg")
{

string filename = fuDocument.FileName;

string DocumentNameDoc = emp_seq + myrow["Month"];
url = DocumentNameDoc;
//Session["Doc"] = url;
ViewState["Doc"] = url;
doc = ViewState["Doc"].ToString();
string url1 = "..//192.168.1.3/Keshav/Images" + url;
fuDocument.PostedFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("..//192.168.1.3/Keshav/Images" + url));
}

}
else
{
msgDiv.InnerHtml = "";
msgDiv.InnerHtml = "Please upload correct format";
}

myrow["Emp_Code"] = txtEmpCode.Text.Trim();
myrow["Employee_Name"] = txtname.Text.Trim();
myrow["Salary_Slip_No"] = txtsalary.Text;
if (txtSubmitDate.Text.Length == 0)
{
myrow["Submit_Date"] = DBNull.Value;

}
else
{
myrow["Submit_Date"] = txtSubmitDate.Text.Trim();
}
myrow["Salary_URL"] = url;
myrow["Month"] = drdwnmonth.SelectedItem.Text;

mydt.Rows.Add(myrow);
ViewState["mydatatable"] = mydt;
if (mydt.Rows.Count > 0)
{
gvDocDetails.DataSource = mydt;
gvDocDetails.DataBind();
gvDocDetails.Columns[13].Visible = false;
gvDocDetails.Columns[14].Visible = false;
gvDocDetails.Columns[15].Visible = false;
gvDocDetails.Columns[16].Visible = false;
gvDocDetails.Columns[17].Visible = false;
gvDocDetails.Columns[18].Visible = false;
btnupdate.Visible = false;
btnUpLoad.Visible = true;
//btnSave.Visible = true;
btnCancel.Visible = true;
drdwnmonth.SelectedIndex = 0;
txtEmpCode.Text = "";
txtname.Text = "";
txtsalary.Text = "";
txtSubmitDate.Text = "";
}
else
{
msgDiv.InnerHtml = "";
msgDiv.InnerHtml = "No Rows Added";
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// msgDiv.InnerHtml = ex.Message;
}

}
But it cant shows the image it will inserted but it cant shows the image/document.

What error are you getting?Did you try this link?

Member 11221185 3-Jan-15 5:45am

yes i tried. when i click on view button it gives error ::HTTP Error 400 - Bad Request.
This link is not helpful because i want to store path in network drive using IP & username & password.

Arjsrya 3-Jan-15 5:51am

ok while debugging the code,Does it frame the correct url?.just check it out.

If the url is like "http://192.168.1.3/keshav/images/month_june.pdf".Have you tried to call this url directly from browser?Are you able to access this one when you call it from the browser directly?
