I have an image gallery that is created using a repeater control. The repeater gets bound inside my code behind file to a table that contains various image paths.

The images in my repeater are populated like this

<img src='<%# Eval("PicturePath")' %>' height='200px' width='150px'/>

(or something along those lines, I don't recall the exact syntax)

The problem is sometimes the images themselves are massive so the load times are a little ridiculous. And populating a 150x200px image definitely should not require a 3MB file.

Is there a way I can not only change the image dimensions, but shrink the file size down as well?

Thanks!
