Please refresh my memory. I have a fair amount of VB.Net programming
experience but it's mostly Winforms not Webforms.

My question is this: I want to dazzle my boss tomorrow with an interactive
graphics display but the only way I can get this to work is by writing a
temporary image file to disk, in other words, by giving the ASP.Net Machine
Account Write permission. Is this a Bad Idea and if so, why?

You can generate images in memory and then stream them out to the response:

Thanks! (Actually I just figured out the basics this morning, about 5
seconds after hitting the Send button on yet another stupid question.)
Seriously, that technique of putting a web page link in the ImageURL is not
well covered in the basic training material.
