What I generally do is create an &quot;Images&quot; folder inside my Content folder.  Where you place your images is really up to you, as long as you are consistent.

Referencing these images from your Site.Master is the same as if you referenced it from any view:

    &lt;img src=&quot;/Content/Images/mylogo.png&quot; /&gt;


![alt text][1]


  [1]: http://imgur.com/NkEv8.png

    &lt;img src=&quot;@Url.Content(&quot;~/Content/Images/logo.png&quot;)&quot; /&gt;

Using this in a Razor view on MVC 5. Images are stored in /Content/Images.

    &lt;%=Html.Image(&quot;~/Content/Images/xxx.png&quot;)%&gt;


This resolves from wherever you are in the site hierarchy.  Html.Image is a part of the the Microsoft.Web.Mvc futures assembly.

or in mvc2: 


    &lt;img src=&quot;&lt;%: Url.Content(&quot;~/Images2/landingMain/safety.png&quot;) %&gt;&quot; alt=&quot;safety&quot; /&gt;

U must put all your images in Content Folder like :-
Content--&gt;Images--&gt;.IMG files and 
same as style sheet files 
Content Folder like Content--&gt;.css hence it easily load the images and css otherwise it is not executed in proper manner.

When I do git status in a subfolder of my repository it includes the status of parent folders also.

Is there a way to constrain git-status to just a particular folder?

How can [dynamic breadcrumbs][1] be achieved with ASP.net MVC?

If you are curious about what breadcrumbs are:

&gt; What are breadcrumbs? Well, if you have ever browsed an online store or read posts in a forum, you have likely encountered breadcrumbs. They provide an easy way to see where you are on a site. Sites like Craigslist use breadcrumbs to describe the user&#39;s location. Above the listings on each page is something that looks like this:
&gt; 
&gt;  s.f. bayarea craigslist &gt; city of san francisco &gt; bicycles 

  [1]: http://www.webmonkey.com/tutorial/Build_Dynamic_Breadcrumbs_With_JavaScript

### EDIT ###
I realize what is possible with the SiteMapProvider. I am also aware of the providers out there on the net that will let you map sitenodes to controllers and actions.

But, what about when you want a breadcrumb&#39;s text to match some dynamic value, like this:

 &gt; Home &gt; Products &gt; Cars &gt; Toyota
 &gt;
 &gt; Home &gt; Products &gt; Cars &gt; Chevy
 &gt;
 &gt; Home &gt; Products &gt; Execution Equipment &gt; Electric Chair
 &gt;
 &gt; Home &gt; Products &gt; Execution Equipment &gt; Gallows

... where the product categories and the products are records from a database. Some links should be defined statically (Home for sure).

I am trying to figure out how to do this, but I&#39;m sure someone has already done this with ASP.net MVC.

How can dynamic breadcrumbs be achieved with ASP.net MVC?

In asp.net mvc, I am using this code:

    RedirectToAction(&quot;myActionName&quot;);

I want to pass some values via the querystring, how do I do that?

how to add querystring values with RedirectToAction method?

I am calling an ASP.NET MVC action

    public JsonResult GetPatient(string patientID)
    {
    ...

from JavaScript using jQuery. The following call works

    $.getJSON(
    &#39;/Services/GetPatient&#39;,
    { patientID: &quot;1&quot; },
    function(jsonData) {
      alert(jsonData);
    });

whereas this one does not.

    $.ajax({
      type: &#39;POST&#39;,
      url: &#39;/Services/GetPatient&#39;,
      data: { patientID: &quot;1&quot; },
      contentType: &#39;application/json; charset=utf-8&#39;,
      dataType: &#39;json&#39;,
      success: function(jsonData) {
        alert(jsonData);
      },
      error: function() {
        alert(&#39;Error loading PatientID=&#39; + id);
      }
    });

Both reach the action method, but the patientID value is null w/ the $.ajax call. I&#39;d like to use the $.ajax call for some of the advanced callbacks.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Imagine I have an enumeration such as this (just as an example):

    public enum Direction{
        Horizontal = 0,
        Vertical = 1,
        Diagonal = 2
    }

How can I write a routine to get these values into a System.Web.Mvc.SelectList, given that the contents of the enumeration are subject to change in future? I want to get each enumerations name as the option text, and its value as the value text, like this:

    &lt;select&gt;
        &lt;option value=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Horizontal&lt;/option&gt;
        &lt;option value=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Vertical&lt;/option&gt;
        &lt;option value=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Diagonal&lt;/option&gt;
    &lt;/select&gt;

This is the best I can come up with so far:

     public static SelectList GetDirectionSelectList()
     {
        Array values = Enum.GetValues(typeof(Direction));
        List&lt;ListItem&gt; items = new List&lt;ListItem&gt;(values.Length);

        foreach (var i in values)
        {
            items.Add(new ListItem
            {
                Text = Enum.GetName(typeof(Direction), i),
                Value = i.ToString()
            });
        }

        return new SelectList(items);
     }

However this always renders the option text as &#39;System.Web.Mvc.ListItem&#39;. Debugging through this also shows me that Enum.GetValues() is returning &#39;Horizontal, Vertical&#39; etc. instead of 0, 1 as I would&#39;ve expected, which makes me wonder what the difference is between Enum.GetName() and Enum.GetValue().

I am accessing a link on my site that will provide a new image each time it is accessed.

The issue I am running into is that if I try to load the image in the background and then update the one on the page, the image doesn&#39;t change--though it is updated when I reload the page.


    var newImage = new Image();
    newImage.src = &quot;http://localhost/image.jpg&quot;;
    
    function updateImage()
    {
	if(newImage.complete) {
		document.getElementById(&quot;theText&quot;).src = newImage.src;
		newImage = new Image();
		number++;
		newImage.src = &quot;http://localhost/image/id/image.jpg?time=&quot; + new Date();
	}
    	
    	setTimeout(updateImage, 1000);
    }

Headers as FireFox sees them:

    HTTP/1.x 200 OK
    Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate
    Pragma: no-cache
    Transfer-Encoding: chunked
    Content-Type: image/jpeg

I need to force a refresh of just that image on the page. Any ideas?


Refresh image with a new one at the same url

I have a page with a row of about 10 &lt;code&gt;img&lt;/code&gt;s. For readability of the HTML, I want to put a linebreak in between each &lt;code&gt;img&lt;/code&gt; tag, but doing so renders whitespace between the images, which I do not want. Is there anything I can do other than break in the middle of the tags rather than between them?

Edit: Here is a screenshot of what I have so far. I would like the book spine images to display in random combinations, using PHP. This is why I need separate &lt;code&gt;img&lt;/code&gt; tags.

Background
--------------

So, I&#39;m working on a fresh iteration of a web app.  And, we&#39;ve found that our users are obsessed with being lazy.  Really lazy.  In fact, the more work we do for them, the more they love the service.  A portion of the existing app requires the user to select a color scheme to use.  However, we have an image (a screenshot of the user&#39;s website), so why can&#39;t we just satiate their laziness and do it for them?  Answer: We can, and it will be a fun programming exercise! :)

The Challenge
--------------

**Given an image, how do you create a corresponding color scheme?**  In other words, how do you select the primary X colors in an image (where X is defined by the web app).  The image used in our particular situation is a screenshot of the user&#39;s website, taken at full resolution (e.g. 1280x1024).  (*Note:* Please simply describe your algorithm - there&#39;s no need to post actual pseudocode.)

Bonus points (street cred points, not actual SO points) for:

 - Describing an algorithm that is simple yet effective.  Code is how we create - keep it simple and beautiful.
 - Allowing the user to tweak the color scheme according to various &#39;moods&#39; such as &#39;Colorful&#39;, &#39;Bright&#39;, &#39;Muted&#39;, &#39;Deep&#39;, etc.  (a la [Kuler][1])
 - Describing a method for reliably determining the main **text** color used in the website screenshot (will likely require its own, separate, algo).

Inspiration
--------------
There are several existing sites that perform a similar function.  Feel free to check them out and ask yourself, &quot;How would I duplicate this?  How could I improve it?&quot;

How do I programmatically save an image from a URL?

I&#39;m integrating my Ruby on Rails app with a usps shipping system. Once you make a postage request, you pay for that postage and it&#39;s nonrefundable. 

Postage requests will return you an xml response including a base64 string, which is the shipping label. 

I&#39;m able to render the shipping label in a view, however to make it foolproof, I would like to be able to save that base64 string as an image on my server in the event that something happens to the shipping label between generation (paying for it) and mailing so it may be reprinted without buying a new one. 

My first thoughts were as follows

    # Attempt 1
    File.open(&#39;shipping_label.gif&#39;, &#39;w+&#39;) {|f|
        f.puts Base64.decode64(base_64_encoded_data)
    }

    # Attempt 2
    File.open(&#39;shipping_label.gif&#39;, &#39;w+&#39;) {|f|
        f.puts Base64.decode64(Base64.decode64(base_64_encoded_data))
    }


Neither work.
