Click the Virtual Directory tab to open it and then click Configuration to open the Application Configuration dialog box.

Now repeat the previous step to map the LEADTOOLS ".leadinfo" httphandler, using the same dialog options (except changing the Extension to be ".leadinfo" rather than ".leadgen").
Click OK to close the Application Configuration dialog box, and then click OK to close the WebImageViewerDemo Properties dialog box.
Now create another Virtual Directory for the <LEADTOOLS_INSTALLDIR>\Examples\DotNet\Resources\Web folder which will be used by the demo's webforms for the images and javascript file. To do so, repeat steps (2-7) but on the second page of the wizard type "Resources" in the Alias edit box, and on the third page of the wizard browse to the "<LEADTOOLS_INSTALLDIR>\Examples\DotNet\Resources\Web" folder.
Now add a reference to the LEADTOOLS assemblies to make the WebImageViewerDemo work correctly. If you are working with the C# tutorial, open the "<LEADTOOLS_INSTALLDIR>\Examples\DotNet\CS\WebImageViewerDemo" folder and create a new folder named "Bin". Similarily, if you are working with the VB tutorial, open the "<LEADTOOLS_INSTALLDIR>\Examples\DotNet\VB\WebImageViewerDemo" folder and create a new folder named "Bin".
Copy the following LEADTOOLS assemblies to the demo's bin folder. You can get these assemblies from the "<LEADTOOLS_INSTALLDIR>\Bin\Dotnet\Win32" folder.
Now open an Internet browser and type "http://localhost/CSWebImageViewerDemo" in the Address bar and click Enter or Go to start viewing the WebImageViewerDemo.
