Hi All,

I want to develop a functionality in my web site, that will show images on the web page picked from client machine. Is there any way to do it using C#, asp .net?

Not really, no. If you insert an img tag that points to the local path, it will show, but there's no cross browser way to reliably get the path from the user, unless you flat out ask them to give you their file paths. I don't see of what use this is, anyhow. Why would I want a website to remember where images are on my local system, and show them to me ?

Please don't post an 'answer' that really belongs as an edit to your original post.

Well, attaching a scanner is something else again. ASP.NET cannot do that. An OCX control MIGHT be able to, if the scanner is TWAIN compliant, and if the user allows it to run.

I wouldn't visit a site that I knew could scrape files off a client machine. In fact, I'm pretty sure that unless you convince the user to install an ActiveXcrement module, this is pretty much impossible to do.
