ASP .NET newbie question

[Chris]

Hi all,

I've built a website in VS2005 using ASP .NET. The problem I'm having is
that images which are put in App_Data folder will only show in the designer.
I'm trying to show images with the CSS "background-image:" tag. If I take
the images out of the folder they show.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Chris,

Images should not be stored in the App_Data folder. It's not meant to be
accessed by the public since it is generally going to contain classes.

Instead store your images in an "Image" folder.

Argh, ignore me. I figured out what I was doing wrong.

I realised that not long after posting the question. I'm very new to
ASP and perhaps should read the more tutorials instead of jumping in
head first

Chris,

Don't worry about it. We all have to start somewhere. I think the correct
phrase is: "The devil is in the details." There are a lot of devils in
programming!
