Property Paths

You can access this nested property as listed below:

Library	Object Type	Path to ImageCacheFolder
ASP.NET Controls and MVC Extensions	ASPxImageGallery	.SettingsFolder .ImageCacheFolder
ASP.NET MVC Extensions	MVCxImageGallery	.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.
