Storing images in App_Data folder 1

[ma77c]

I'm trying to include images on my webpage that are stored in an "images" folder in "App_Data", but they are not working (red X). Everything works fine if I move the images folder out of App_Data.

Logically, App_Data is where I would think you would store such files, but apparently I am missing something. Can anyone explain this to me? Thanks!

I wouldn't think that. Logically I'd store a database in their and the images folder outside it in a folder named images.

Hmm... how profound. Would you consider XML files to be appropriate for the App_Data folder?

It depends what the XML files are for. If they contain data that your application is using then yes. If they are somtehing else (a sitemap for example) then no I wouldn't. You can see an explanation of this folder in the help files:
