title: Loading an image control from a local drive
body: <p>I have a folder C:\Images which has a some images. This folder is not inside my project and I would to know if there is a way to load an image from that folder on to an ASP.NET Image control. </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;asp:Image ID="img" runat="server" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>One solution could be to make the Images folder a Virtual directory on the IIS but I would like to know if this can be done without creating a virtual directory for the Images folder.</p>
