How to overlap an image or text on another image using css? (Div overlapping, Div absolute, relative position)

Here I am trying to overlap some text on the Image.

 

<div style="position:relative">
 <img src="../images/MyImage.jpg" />
  <div style="text-align: center; right:10px; position:absolute">
 Overlapped Text
  </div>
</div>

In the above example, the outer Div is styled to align relatively to the parent control, and the inner div is styled to align in absolute position with respective to the parent Div.

Things to remember when implementing WebFarm

1. Make sure you do not use Application object to store data, as this
data is stored as part of the Application Domain
2. Make sure you use the OutProc mode to store the session data
3. Be aware that session_OnEnd event of the HttpApplication object will not
fire when OutProc mode is used
4. Make sure that all the clusters in the webfarm use the same value for
ValidationKey attribute of the MachineKey element in the configuration

How to save the picture captured from webcam in Silverlight? Saving captured images in Silverlight. ImageTools.

Silverlight does not have built-in encoders for saving images in different formats. There is a library available for this.

1) Just go to http://imagetools.codeplex.com/ and download ImageTools.
2) Add reference to ImageTools
3) Add reference to ImageTools.Utils
4) Add reference to ImageTools.IO.<preferred file format>

The Code
-------------------------
If the requirement is to save the captured image to local machine

void source_CaptureImageCompleted(object sender, CaptureImageCompletedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Result != null)
{
//CapturedImage is an Image control
CapturedImage.Source = e.Result;
//Cannot directly call 'showDialog' here. Dialog must be user-initiated.
}
}

private void SavePicture_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
SaveFileDialog saveFileDialog = new SaveFileDialog { DefaultExt = ".png", Filter = "PNG Files (*.png)*.pngAll Files (*.*)*.*", FilterIndex = 1 };
bool? dialogResult = saveFileDialog.ShowDialog();
if (dialogResult.HasValue && dialogResult.Value)
{
var image = CapturedImage.ToImage(); //ToImage is an Extension Method, which returns an ExtendedImage
var encoder = new PngEncoder();
using (Stream stream = saveFileDialog.OpenFile())
{
encoder.Encode(image, stream);
stream.Close();
}
}
}
-----------------------------------------------------------
If the requirement is to send the image as byte stream to a service

using (Stream stream = saveFileDialog.OpenFile())
{
byte[] bytes = null;
stream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
//Pass the bytes to the sevice
stream.Close();
}

How to use a Windows Forms Class Libary in Asp.Net

1. Create a new Windows Forms Control Library Project
2. Add reference to any dependent controls (Com components or activeX controls)
3. Design control according to the requirement
4. Select 'Make assembly COM Visible' under 'Properties of the project > Application > Assembly Information'. 
5. Add "c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\framework\v4.0.30319\regAsm.exe /u <TheTargetDll.dll>"  Under Build Events > Pre build event command line
6. Add "c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\framework\v4.0.30319\regAsm.exe <TheTargetDll.dll>"  Under Build Events > Post build event command line
7. Select 'Register for COM interop' under Build > Output
8. Sign the assembly if you are planning to install the assembly in the GAC

Code to use the component created in the previous step:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. To find the ClassID of the component we just created, go to registry editor and find the name of the dll '<TheTargetDll>'.  Copy the classid of that node.
2. Place the following code in the webpage. 

<object  ID="MyId" classid="Paste the class id"/>
