I am trying to insert images into my Pdf. I am retrieving the image from my db with the url. It is not using the right path to the document. the exception shows that it is looking for the image at
C:\MeasurementPictures\Kelly-Word-Front-3-24-2015-4-37-AM.jpg
the actual physical path to the images is
C:\Development\FitFactor\FitFactor\MeasurementPictures\Kelly-Word-Front-3-24-2015-4-37-AM.jpg
XImage image = XImage.FromFile(model.FrontPicture.PictureUrl);
gfx.DrawImage(image, 20, 100, 250, 140);
Code to Save Picture URL
string root = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/MeasurementPictures/");
string vPath = root.Replace(@"C:\Development\FitFactor\FitFactor", "~").Replace("\\", "/").Replace("~/", "/");
string fileName = String.Format("{0}-{1}-{2}{3}", clientName, model.PictureType, dt, clientExtension);
string combination = Path.Combine(vPath, fileName);
model.PictureUrl = combination;
string physicalPath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/MeasurementPictures");
string relativePath = Path.Combine(physicalPath, fileName).Replace("\\", "/");
Would I use something like this?
string root = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/MeasurementPictures/");
string vPath = root.Replace(@"C:\Development\FitFactor\FitFactor", "~").Replace("\\", "/").Replace("~/", "/");
string relativePath = Path.Combine(vPath, model.FrontPicture.PictureUrl).Replace("\\", "/");
XImage image = XImage.FromFile(relativePath);
gfx.DrawImage(image, 20, 100, 250, 140);
string filePath = model.FrontPicture.PictureUrl.Replace("C:", " ");
string completeFilePath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(filePath);
XImage image = XImage.FromFile(Path.Combine(completeFilePath));
gfx.DrawImage(image, 20, 100, 250, 140);
Here is the winning combination
