Question

I am using asp.net 4.0 and all my images are stored in database using admin CMT.

I want to create a image gallery to display all thumbnail images in a list and lightbox effect for big images.

lightbox works fine if we have a physical location of the image, but in this case it is binary data (image datatype) in database.

Can you help me how can i assign the (binary) image to lightbox.

Answer 1

Using lightbox for displaying images from database directly

Create a HTTP handler and called the handler in the in every img scr

<img src="ShowImg.ashx?ID=imageid" alt="imgetitle" />

handler will load the image from the imageid passed as a querystring to it. on handler we will right the code to read the image from database and display on the page.
