<img src="http://www.blogger.com/_layouts/AssetUploader.aspx?Size=Medium&ImageURL=/mysitecollection/mysite/MyImagesDocumentLibrary/IMG1234.jpg" alt="My Image" />If you use a size of 'Small', it will make the largest dimension of the image 70 pixels, and if you use anything other than small (Medium, Large, etc.), it will make the largest dimension of the image 140 pixels.
It worked wonderfully in our test environment, but once we brought it into production, it broke. All we saw were little generic white document icons - no thumbnails. Yikes!
I turned, of course, to google, and I found a very helpful post from Bob Moore at PointBridge, where he explained the problem and provided some code as a solution. His code was tremendously helpful, but didn't get me all the way there, so I went to reflector myself to try and disassemble and fix it on my own.
However, interestingly, reflector couldn't disassemble all of it. The main class I was interested in was Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Internal.CodeBehind.AssetThumbnailerPage. So I opened it in reflector to find this message when I tried to disassemble the OnLoad event:
// This item is obfuscated and cannot be translated.I soon found that while Reflector couldn't show me the C# code for that function, I could look at the IL code for it (to do this, click on the language drop down in the toolbar and change it from C# or Visual Basic to IL). I'd never seen this before, but once I found Microsoft's IL reference, I was able to decipher and disassemble it by hand back into C#.
Here is the solution I ended up with that works well with AAM. I created a simple ASPX page containing only this:
<%@ Assembly Name="MyAssembly, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0123456789abcdef"%>And here is the code for the MyAssetThumbnailerPage class, which I included in a DLL that gets deployed via a feature to the GAC:
