Not much to see here yet. Just a few notes...
This has turned out to be a syntactically simple feature that requires a little headscratching to understand. The two important things to describe are:
1) How the images are dynamically rendered with a cheat of making a page that is of type "image/jpg".
2) How the UseAlternateConnectionString hack is used heavily since we need to be able to look at Subscriber and Administrator Supplier icons from both login types as well as Subscriber icons from both login types.
There are six possibilities and some of them will need to be explained:
Admin user: Creating/viewing subscriber logos Creating/viewing "Master list" of supplier logos. Creating/viewing Subscriber specific supplier logos.
Subscriber user: Viewing a subscriber logo (from the current db) Viewing a supplier logo from the current DB Viewing a supplier logo from the global DB.
Because the Logo control is reused for both display and preview situations, it must know where to make its database connections as well.
