Obtaining Image Properties in ASP Without a Component

You don't need a third party server component to determine the height and width of an image file in Classic ASP. The LoadPicture command will load an image into and object and you can then access the height and width, such as in this example:

Dim objImage
Set objImage = LoadPicture(Server.MapPath("image.ext")) 
intWidth = objImage.Width
intHeight = objImage.Height
