well i know that some of you have been using that cool ASP .NET thumbnailer from the code project

( http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/Thumbnail_Image.asp?print=true - http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/Thumbnail_Image.asp?print= true )

for a while now. But i was never really happy with the way it just squished everything into whatever size the box you wanted... without properly scaling it.

So i fixed it... at least i think i did. I had this sitting around being used for about a year now. And for the life of me i dont remember if i was the one who wrote it or if i just modded something i saw or if i just modded the codeproject stuff.

so you can grab it http://www.afn.org/~xonix/downloads/software/thumbnailimage.zip - HERE .

hope this helps some people.

ORIGINAL RELEASE

------------------
DESCRIPTION
------------------

This a modification to the popular ASP .NET thumbnailer, from
The code project:
http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/Thumbnail_Image.asp?print=true - http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/Thumbnail_Image.asp?print= true

This modification of the code allows you to define a "box" by supplying
height and witdth along with the image. The thumbnailer will properly
scale the image inside of that box, instead of just streatching it.

EX:
thumbnailimage.aspx?filename=/gallery/MyUglyCat.jpg&widt h=120&height=120

filename: the full path and the image name to be thumbnailed
width: the maximum width of the image (defaults to 100)
height: the maximum height of the image (defaults to 100)

------------------
USAGE
------------------

stick it in your root directory (along with error.gif) and call it like this:
