Render multiple images

Hello all,

Can anyone offer any help with our problem.

We have a database that returns multiple (100's) of images as memorystreams.
We need to output these all at once. The option of having a separate aspx
page that takes a parameter then displays the image is not an option (this is
for multiple reasons).

Are there any ways of doing this?

Thanks all,

Jon

a couple:

1) use a non IE browser like firefox/netscape/opera/safrai that support
inline images
2) merge all the images into one image, and return that image

I addition to Bruce's fine suggestions, perhaps you could use an HTTPHandler
to do the heavy lifting.
Here's more info:
