I am new (like don't really have a clue) to coding. I us Expression Web 3 for my page design and have ran into something I can not make it do. I was hoping there was a way to use VB.net to accomplish this.
What I would like is to have a peice of code that can look at a folder I specify then display a random image from that folder on a page. I need this to also have the ability to look at the IPTC meta data in the image and use the the caption or description tag as a caption under the image on the page.
I do not want the VB code to have to look at a list of the files (like an XML file or an array in the code that I maintain). I need it to look at the folder and determine for itself and build its own list of file names to use when picking one at random.
Is this a farily simple task? And if so can a complete newbie like myself accomplish this with some guidance? Any one want to point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Luke
