1.iN ASP.NET how to do autosizing of the image, so that image will be
displayed as it is with out being squished.
1.In ASP.net While for browsing for images, i just just want to restrict the
user to select only Files of type pictures (*.gif,*.jpg)

Thanks in advance,

I have a sample that generates thumbnail images by doing the resizing in
the server:

Well, you could always do the resizing at upload time and store that at a
standard resolution/size.

You'd have to look into the Bitmap class more to see what image formats it
supports. You can never restrict what type of file a user uploads, so you'll
just have to write very defensive code on the upload.
