I seem to have lost the ability to see my images stored in App_Data when I run the web site from the local host. I can see the images fine when I am in the design mode -- but I get the small red ex when I run the site from Visual Studio 2008. any suggestions? ---Jim
If you don't have IIS installed, and the images aren't serviced via virtual folders, Casini won't work with all local images. This includes background images. For me it's easier to test those things on-line, but if you have to, which I can understand... You'll need to install IIS locally and have virtual folders. Testing remotely bypasses this and keeps your system cleaner, if you can.
app_data is a special directory. If you put your image in there, neither IIS or VS development server will display it when you access it through the browser. simple solution is: move the images out from the app_data directory. Bruce DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
Good catch bro, I missed the app_data part. By the way, Scott covered some of the Cassini, CSS and image problems a while back: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2006/01/31/437027.aspx Make sure to read the comments.
