Loading multiple photos from a directory 1

[fordtran]

I have a web page (ASP.NET) with a drop down list control (ddlSelect) and about 20 image controls.
If an item is selected on the ddl I wish to load all the images in a certain directory into the image controls. The number of images in a certain directory may vary. I also wish to load the name of the picture that was loaded into a certain image as a link to that image. If I have a small image of the picture I should be able to click on that image to load a full sized image on a popup page.

Thank you

I have put the ddl control on the form and filled it with a few selections and about 20 image cotrols - on the form. I have not named them - I am not sure whether I can use a control array.
I have about 15 photos in one directory and 10 photos in another directory.
So - when listindex=1 is chosen I know from which directory to load the photos - names 01.jpg to 15.jpg

Thanks

You will have to create the image controls dynamically. There is no point creating 20 controls at design time - what happens if there are 21 images?

Have a look in the help files for System.IO.Directory.GetFiles()
