We previously used the System.Drawing namespace for image management in our
web app. System.Drawing is not reliable for web apps, and even Microsoft
says that in their page about System.Drawing.

Should I be looking at Silverlight now?

One specific issue I have is to determine an image's dimensions at run-time.
Note, not the asp:image control's dimensions, the dimensions of the image
itself.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Brett,

I don't think you get the best possible answers on your question here.

For this question is

Microsoft.public.dotNet.framework.aspnet

probably a better place

Hmm, when I posted there, it said this was Data Access Components. Is that
where you meant to send me?

Thanks again

Brett,

I see two answers on a question from you in the ASPNET forum, but they did
not understand your question.
Moreover, I think that they did not know what Silverlight is.

Otherwise simply take a MSDN forum about Silverlight
