one other function, fGetMonthlySale s(SalesPersonID as Long) as String to

Re: Create Jpeg/Png programatically ?

Hello Mark,

As Cor suggested, we can
1. Create a Bitmap object
'Create Bitmap object of specific width and height
Dim Img As New Bitmap(intWidth , intHeight)

2. Create the Graphics object using the Bitmap object
'Obtain Graphics object to perform graphics opration
Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromIm age(Img)

3. Use the DrawString() method of the Graphics class to draw the figures in
the badge
'Use drawString method of the graphics object to write text on target bitmap
g.DrawString("T est", New Font("Arial", 15, FontStyle.Bold) , _
New SolidBrush(Colo r.Red), 25, 35)

4. Save the image to a temporary directory:
'Save this bitmap using its save method as .Tiff,.jpg or any other image
ImgStamp.Save(Y ourPath &
"\MyStamp.jpg", System.Drawing. Imaging.ImageFo rmat.Jpg))

After then, display the image in your page.

Re: Create Jpeg/Png programatically ?

Never mind it must have been a file permissions issue:
C:\Users\Mark\D ocuments\Visual Studio 2008\MyStamp.jp g rather than
'C:\MyStamp.jpg ' worked.

What if I want the text to overlay an existing graphic object (e.g. badge
template jpeg)?

Re: Create Jpeg/Png programatically ?

Does it fail on the first run or does it works before failing ?

1) Always call dispose when exposed (g.dispose and img.dispose) else
unmanaged resources could be kept alive and as you always write to the same
file
2) the function doesn't return anything
3) a web page usually display an image fetched as an external resource
though even returning somethying directly in the html page won"t work
4) strDot,strGrade are not used (I assume you are in a testing phase)

You could make the page refers to another ASPX page (or better a handler)
that would stream the image content instead of refering to a real image
file.
The browser won't care it will see the page returns the appropriate content
type and then takes whetever is rendered by the page as an image (this is if
you want to render this image on the fly, not sure what you are trying to
do)...

My thought then is that the badge needs to be constructed programmically
at run-time to incorporate those figures as pictures, or better still as
part of the overall graphic.

Why make it so very complicated? A browser is capable of displaying text
on top of an image, and also capable of showing a pointer cursor instead
of a text cursor.

Example:

<a href="detailspa ge.html" target="_blank"
style="display: block;width:50p x;height:50px;b ackground:url(b adge.gif);text-align:center;li ne-height:25px;cur sor:pointer;">A +<br/>$87K</a>

Re: Create Jpeg/Png programatically ?

If they click on the text, will it re-direct to a URL like it would if they
clicked on the image?

In my example there is no separate image element and separate text
elements. The link contains the text and has a background image. There
is no difference if you click on the part of the link where there is
text or the part where there is just the background image.

Re: Create Jpeg/Png programatically ?

That all works OK now.

Now what about if I want to allow other webmasters to have our dynamic
salesperson performance badges on their websites?

I could pass them the salesperson ID number but what else would I need to
have them include in their HTML? I want them to be able to 'click-to-verify'
to be taken to the salesperson's details page.

It is because the source stream was closed before we save it.
