Image/File-
depending on field type this control allows to upload images and
files to the database (binary field) or to some directory on the Web
server (text field). ASPRunner also makes it possible to create
thumbnails on the fly. If you want to do this then you should select
the appropriate checkbox and:
Binary field - choose thumbnail size and the field name in which the
thumbnail will be saved.
Text field - choose thumbnail size and thumbnail prefix.
For example, if the original image file's name is example.gif and
thumbnail file's name is th_example.gif correspondingly then the
thumbnail prefix should have the value of "th_".
Note: To work with thumbnails you need to have ASPJpeg
component installed on the Web server. Most Web hosting
companies have this component installed.

for a field that should not be edited. |
