1. Setting Maxsidesize value

 

This sets the longer side to the value specified as Maxsidesize. The other side is calculated automatically so that the aspect ratio remains the same with the original image. In the following image, Maxsidesize is set to 250px.

 

The GetProductImage method for resizing an image to the Maxsidesize value of 250px:

 

EcommerceFunctions.GetProductImage(Eval("SKUImagePath"), 250, Eval("SKUName")))
