I was having trouble with flickrnet using ASP.NET when I rolled my website that is hosted by Discountasp.  After looking around very briefly at the few blogs that I could find I found the solution to my problem.  FlickrNet was trying to write the cache to a file on the server that I don’t have permissions to.  It was working fine in dev but I was getting the error “Access to the path ‘FlickrNet’ is denied” in production.

Flickr.CacheDisabled = true;  I tried writing the cache to another location but I was having trouble with it.  The FlickrNet API can be downloaded at http://www.wackylabs.net/flickr/flickr-api/. 

Right now I have a really simple implemenation on my photos page at www.paulcrane.net that uses a DataReader do display the thumbnails.  I added an image control and wired up an event to each control that changes the display pic at the top of the page.  I’ll be working on implementing more of the API in the future and keep you up to date.

 We are looking into using Flickr and other APIs on our site at Pets Best Pet Insurance, www.petsbest.com .
