Hey guys, I am working on a simple GDI Script in SharePoint. This is only Code Behind. I am trying to write the stream. I have two errors. It is saying Response is not declared. Is there any other way to declare this... Can I import something that might fix the problem.

Response.ContentType = "image/gif"
fullSizeImg.Save(Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.Gif) 

Please Advise, Thank you...

Michael you are a genius...

It worked perfect with a little hitch..

As per your advise, I imporeted System.web.httpcontext and changed my response to current.response.

Now for what's happening and the little bit code:

myImage = New Image
Controls.Add(myImage)
myImage.ImageURL = WriteGDI(passing Values)

function WriteGDI()
...............................
...............................
    myBitMap.Save(memStream, ImageFormat.Png)
    memStream.WriteTo(Current.Response.OutputStream)
End Function

What this is doing is replacing my page with the image itself. What can I do to just have the image change in the middle of the page.

Thanks a lot for take time to assist me.

Not sure what you mean with just replacing the middle of the page. If you want to display a gdi image within another page you either need to add a placeholder or image control to the page and then dynamically add the .aspx as gdi to it. Generating a gdi image will result in the aspx page to be an image so you need to add it to another page.

Michael,

I already have a place holder for the image in the middle of the page.

I have a function I am passing the information to the Funciton which which generates a simple image. There are no other ASPX pages where I can move the Script and pass the values through QueryString to the page.

It looks like I am screwed in a manner.

Hope there is a solution.

Michael,

Here is an interesting option. May Be!

I can serialize the image. Can I deserialize it and assign it as the imageURL.

Don't know how I can do that yet and is it going to drop me in the same position.

If you do not want to generate the image in a 2nd page so you can set the URL you will need to use a HTTP Handler. This is once you understand HTTP Handlers fairly easy to do, here is a c# example how the asp.net forums generate an avatar which is passes as a binary from database 

using System;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.Caching;

using AspNetForums;



namespace AspNetForums.Components.HttpHandler {



    public class AvatarHttpHandler : IHttpHandler {



        public void ProcessRequest (HttpContext context) {



              try {

                  Avatar userAvatar = Resources.GetAvatar( int.Parse(context.Request.QueryString["UserID"]) );



                  context.Response.ContentType = userAvatar.ContentType;

                  context.Response.OutputStream.Write(userAvatar.Content, 0, userAvatar.Length);



                   context.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.Publ ic);

                                       context.Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(30));

                   context.Response.Cache.SetAllowResponseInBrowserHistory(true );

                  context.Response.Cache.SetValidUntilExpires(true);

                  context.Response.Cache.VaryByParams["UserID"] = true;

              } catch {}



        }



        public bool IsReusable {

              get {

                  return false;

              }

        }

    }

}
