Object Type	Path to ImageCacheFolder
ASPxImageGallery	.SettingsFolder .ImageCacheFolder

Remarks

When the ImageGalleryFolderSettings.ImageSourceFolder property is specified, the ASPxImageGallery caches the images from the source folder to the folder specified via the ImageCacheFolder property.

Note

By default, images are cached to the public “~\Thumb\“ folder that can result in unauthorized access to private files, therefore we recommend you set restricted access for this folder.
