I'm working on a solution to upload multiple images (gallery) at once to a
database. The path to the images is saved in the Database, and the images
are stored on disk.

How do i make a dialogbox that will allow the user to browse his own
harddrive, select multiple (multiple is important here) images and then
click a "Upload" button and transfer those images to the
web-server/database.

When i recieve the images, i plan to resize them and, store 3 versions of
each of them (thumbnail, normalized and original size) Anyone got any idea
on _how_ to do this, or any software that _can_ do this?

Nope. It can't be done using any existing controls in ASP.NET. You'll have to use an ActiveX control or click on the following for a 3rd party control(free). This control looks much like the muliple upload interface in Hotmail

i'm using custom control (or you can use class) ..

Imports System.Drawing.Imagin
get source image --> put in bitma
calculate size --> resize and sav
close all opened file or object
(important, unless it holds on forever until resetting server application

it's very simple, i think you can get source from MSDN, vb.net sample section
