How to display an image in a SharePoint 2010 Web Part

Question

I would like to know how to display a local image in my SharePoint 2010 Web Part. I don't really know which url to write in the css.

Answer 1

1. Add SharePoint "Images" mapped folder to the project in Visual Studio.

2. Create a WEB-PART-NAME folder inside (to keep related images together and not overwrite some other image by accident).

3. Place the image in this folder.

4. Use the following URL: /_layouts/images/WEB-PART-NAME/IMAGE-FILENAME.png
