Http Handlers to handle Images

Hi,

In this article i am going to create an http Handler which is used to resize my images and display it  .

What are HTTP Handlers?

HTTP handlers are the .NET components that implement the System.Web.IHttpHandler interface, they can act as a target for the incoming HTTP requests and can be called directly by using their file name in the URL.
HTTP handlers implement the following two methods:
1) ProcessRequest: called to process http requests and
2) IsReusable which indicates whether this instance of http handler can be reused for fulfilling another requests of the same type.

In your website Add new Item Generic Handler and name it as ImageHandler.ashx

Here is ImageHandler.ashx file

<%@ WebHandler Language="C#" Class="ImageHandler" %>

using System;
using System.Web;
using System.IO;

public class ImageHandler : IHttpHandler
{

    public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
    {
        string sImageFileName = "";
        int iThumbSize = 0;
        decimal dHeight, dWidth, dNewHeight, dNewWidth;

        sImageFileName = context.Request.QueryString["img"];
        iThumbSize = Convert.ToInt32(context.Request.QueryString["sz"]);
       
        System.Drawing.Image objImage = System.Drawing.Bitmap.FromFile(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("Image Path" + sImageFileName));
        if (sImageFileName != null)
        {
            if (iThumbSize == 1)
            {

                dHeight = objImage.Height;
                dWidth = objImage.Width;
                dNewHeight = 120;
                dNewWidth = dWidth * (dNewHeight / dHeight);
                objImage = objImage.GetThumbnailImage((int)dNewWidth, (int)dNewHeight, new System.Drawing.Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort(callback), new IntPtr());  
            }
            if (iThumbSize == 2)
            {
                
                dHeight = objImage.Height;
                dWidth = objImage.Width;
                dNewHeight = 200;
                dNewWidth = dWidth * (dNewHeight / dHeight);
                objImage = objImage.GetThumbnailImage((int)dNewWidth, (int)dNewHeight, new System.Drawing.Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort(callback), new IntPtr());
            }
           
            MemoryStream objMemoryStream = new MemoryStream();
            objImage.Save(objMemoryStream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
            byte[] imageContent = new byte[objMemoryStream.Length];
            objMemoryStream.Position = 0;
            objMemoryStream.Read(imageContent, 0, (int)objMemoryStream.Length);
            context.Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";
            context.Response.BinaryWrite(imageContent);
        }
    }


    private bool callback()
    {
        return true;
    }
    public bool IsReusable
    {
        get
        {
            return false;
        }
    }

}

Following is the way to write it..

 <img id="Image1"  src='../ImageHandler.ashx?img=ImageName&sz=1'  />
