VB.NET

<DefaultValue(True)>

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	true	true if direct links to external images are allowed; false to download external images to the web site’s upload folder and refer to them using local paths.

Property Paths

You can access this nested property as listed below:

Library	Object Type	Path to AllowInsertDirectImageUrls
ASP.NET Web Forms Controls	ASPxHtmlEditor	.Settings .AllowInsertDirectImageUrls
ASP.NET MVC Extensions	HtmlEditorSettings	.Settings .AllowInsertDirectImageUrls

Remarks

Use the AllowInsertDirectImageUrls property to specify whether the ASPxHtmlEditor allows inserting direct links to external images located on other web sites.

Note that if direct image links are allowed, they may be a potential cause of harmful actions (for instance, a specific harmful script can try to run if it’s assigned as an external image’s Load event handler).

To avoid using direct links, set the AllowInsertDirectImageUrls property to false. In this case, any specified external image is first downloaded to a specific folder on the application’s web server, and then it’s referred to within the editor using its local path. Use the ASPxHtmlEditorImageUploadSettings.UploadImageFolder property, to specify the folder that contains uploaded images used by the ASPxHtmlEditor control.
