Javier: To answer part 1 of your question. You can use the querystring . <IMG id="Img1" style="Z-INDEX: 116; LEFT: 496px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 16px" height="200" src="Graphics.aspx?a=whateveryouwant&b=whateverelseyouwant" width="200" runat="server"> Or you can use ServerVariables, Cookies, Form Variables or ASP.NET Params Collection. If Img1 is run at server than you can access all properties, methods or attributes in WebForm1 code behind for example Img1.Src = "whateveryouwant" As for part 2 I have had no problems executing these methods and if it is fixed in 5.1 or whtever version we are up to in .NET/Link Todd gives the user where the problem occurs we have all the source code to comiple our own version of the .NET/Link assembly. Good Luck.
