How does milliondollarhomepage work?

I noticed the pixel array is only one image, I wonder 开发者_StackOverflow中文版if it is dynamically created on a page request and then cached? Is that possible to do with .NET?

I wouldn't be supprised if the entire page was completely static. It looks like nothing more than an image with an Area Map over the top of it, the query string just changes the image from the previous cached one, probably incremented when he was selling pixels.

There's no reason why you can't dynamically generate the image server-side and cache it. So yes it's possible.

It's a single giant image with an image map

You can see this by viewing the source.

Also, being that the image has a querystring parameter, I'm assuming that the image generation and map generation is all being done server side.

And "YES" this is possible to do entirely in .NET
