  I have an aspx page with a datagrid which I am using to display a list of thumbnails. The thumbnails are sitting on my harddrive and the links to them are stored in an Access database.

  I have placed an 'Img' tag in a template column in the datagrid and as the grid loads the 'src' property of the image is filled from the database.

  The page contain more than 300 images.

  Everything is fine but when I try to run the page on a remote computer,it is so slow. Page loading take more time.

  how to speed up the page loading.

  Hi,

  If you are uploading the site to a remote server, be sure that the paths you use in the Database are relative to the server.

  I.e., dont leave src links like "c:\documents and settings{some user}\my pictures.

  All the images should be stored on the server along with the site.

  If the images still take a long time to download, then look at the size of the images and see if you can reduce them further to save on bandwith.

  and lastly, dont forget that running the site locally removes the factor of internet connection speed, it might just be that the images are that large that they do take a long time to download on to your computer.

  Si
