A quick way to get placeholder images to your ASP.NET web applications

Posted: (EET/GMT+2)

 

When developing web applications, during the prototyping stage, you often need a quick way to get images to your site with the particular dimensions.

There's a nice web site called Placehold.It that can help you with just that. You can simply point to their servers with a particularly constructed URL, and you get a default blank image with the exact dimensions you give.

For example, an HTML "img" tag source URL might look like this:

http://placehold.it/350x150

With this site available in your toolbox, it's even faster to build those ASP.NET web applications. There are plenty of options, too, so be sure to read the docs.

Hope this helps!
