Dynamically Formatting Pictures

[kliz0328]

I have a site where users can upload pictures. My question is...Is there anyway to dynamically format these pictures. I assume people will be uploading pictures of all different sizes, and if they are a rectangular shape they will get skewed if I make the height unproportional to the width. Is there a way to check the dimensions of a picture through .Net coding?

Yes, check out the System.Drawing.Image class

Is this the best way to go about formatting pictures in a website, They are profile pictures and will have to be trimmed to fit a 100 x 100 frame, or is there a bettter way?

That's a pretty good method I think. You could create a "thumbnail" page that resizes each image on the fly and simply call this page from the "src" attribute of each Image control.
