Displaying images stored outside Website Root Folder in ASP

Do you have the two websites (yours and the other website) on the same machine? Or on two different machines?

Do you want to load the images on the server side (ASP.NET) or the client side (HTML-JavaScript)?

Do you want to load the local images from disk?

In general, if you have permission to read the folder that contains the images on the other website, you can get the image's path using the Server.MapPath(...) method.

If the images formats are not web-friendly, you can convert them to web-friendly formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF, etc.) using a programming toolkit like leadtools.

I found the following link that might help:
