I have a View that displays a list of images and i am now trying to get it to display the images as thumbnails. Well, i'm pretty sure i got most of it right using VirtualPath's from a custom ActionResult although i can't seem to figure out what it is making the VirtualPath url?? BTW, i'm using XML to store the data from the images instead of
SQL. Here is my code:
Code from my custom ActionResult:
public class ThumbnailResult : ActionResult
{
public ThumbnailResult(string virtualPath)
{
this.VirtualPath = virtualPath;
}
public string VirtualPath { get; set; }
public override void ExecuteResult(ControllerContext context)
{
context.HttpContext.Response.ContentType = "image/bmp";
string fullFileName =
context.HttpContext.Server.MapPath("~/Galleries/WhereConfusionMeetsConcrete/" + VirtualPath);
using (System.Drawing.Image photoImg =
System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(fullFileName))
{
using (System.Drawing.Image thumbPhoto =
photoImg.GetThumbnailImage(100, 100, null, new System.IntPtr()))
{
using (System.IO.MemoryStream ms = new System.IO.MemoryStream())
{
thumbPhoto.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
context.HttpContext.Response.BinaryWrite(ms.ToArray());
context.HttpContext.Response.End();
}
}
}
}
}
Code for my Controller:
public ActionResult Thumbnail(string id)
{
return new ThumbnailResult(id);
}
Code for my View:
<% foreach (var image in ViewData.Model) { %>
<a href="../Galleries/TestGallery1/<%= image.Path %>"><img src="../Galleries/TestGallery1/thumbnail/<%= image.Path %>" alt="<%= image.Caption %>" /></a>
<br /><br /><%= image.Caption %><br /><br /><br />
<% } %>
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Let me know of any questions you have as well. :) Thanks!
