Question

I have 3 projects in the same solution (AdminArea, sarir, datalayer).

I save images in wwwroot/Images in AdminArea project,m and I want to reference them in the sarir project. How can I do that? Thank you

This is not working for me:

src="@Url.Content("/AdminArea/wwwroot/Images/SliderImages/@item.ImageName")"

1. Shared Folder or Virtual Directory:

Create a shared folder that both projects can access. You can either create a physical folder and ensure both projects have access to it, or create a virtual directory within the sarir project that points to the AdminArea's wwwroot/Images directory.

• Physical Folder:

Place your images in a shared physical directory accessible by both projects. Ensure the projects have the necessary permissions to access this folder.

• Virtual Directory:

In the sarir project, you can set up a virtual directory that points to the wwwroot/Images folder of the AdminArea project in your Startup.cs:

app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions
  {
   FileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(
    Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), @"..\AdminArea\wwwroot\Images")),
   RequestPath = "/SharedImages"
 });

1. Reference Image in HTML/Razor:

Once the shared folder or virtual directory is set up, you can reference the images in your sarir project's HTML/Razor views:

<img src="/SharedImages/SliderImages/@item.ImageName" alt="Image" />

Replace /SharedImages/SliderImages/ with the correct path to your images within the shared directory.
