Custom Skate Design

Overview

• The focus of my project has been to make a
  dynamic web that could integrate with an online
  warehouse.
• RollerWarehouse for example
• http//www.rollerwarehouse.com
• Custom Skate Design ties in with inventory in a
  Access database I built and filled with data
  (would rather use SQL Server)
• Coding with ASP.net and VB (its what I know,
  well kinda)
• For the Project overview see

Issues

• I want to know how to give the user a preview of
  the skate they are designing.
• I have images of wheels, frames, and boots
• The link below shows individual images layered
  and placed to look like an assembled skate.

• How to do this programmatically is the question?

The Problem is Not

• Layering images
• or
• Matching Boots with Frames
• I have scaled the images and standardized them to
  solve this
• But
• I dont know how to center the wheels over the
  axles.

5
Solutions

• Not sure, ? ? ?
• Thought about using anchor tags
• Can Absolute_Center the wheel image
• Not sure this would work
• What about placing the wheels appropriately under
  the axles image?
• Spacing between wheels isnt a standard distance.

6
Other Suggestions

• Include images of frames with generic wheels on
  them
• Misses the point of showing the customer the
  skate they are assembling

7
Lastly

• My programming skills are embarrassingly weak.
• Im looking for some help with ASP.net, and VB
