Display Images not located under virtual path

[WIREMESH]

Using ASP.NET 2.0

Is is possible to display an image using the <asp:Image> tag where the image is located in a directory not under inetpub\

http://wwwroot\myapplication?

Reason for the question is we have a desktop database application that shares the same database with a web app. Currently the images are stored in a sub-directory under the main application. Assuming we give the web app/users access to this directory is this possible?

Yes, as long as the images are available via a web server and you use the absolute url e.g.

http://localserver/otherfolder/image1.jpg
