Hi All,
I am using asp.net with C# [3.5]. I want to display Image before my URL in browser, like IE and mozilla used to have. I want to display my custom image.
Please help. Thanks in advance

You mean a favicon?
Create a 16x16 pixel image and use this tool to convert it to an .ico file: http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/
Then place this line in your <head> section:
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico">

You're talking about a favicon. Not all browsers recognize it, but most do. You can add a link tag inside the head section of your HTML page with a link to the icon file:
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="http://www.example.com/myicon.ico"/>

IE doesn't look for it as often as FF does. Add the link to your favorites (in newer versions of IE this checks for the icon), or try a hard-refresh (Ctrl-F5).

I tried it with IE 8, but all in vain ! :( I don't know why Microsoft is not looking for the enhancement of IE, it's not less with CS3.Anyways, Thanks a lot for your help.

I do it like this in my asp.net page:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<%= ResolveUrl("~/Content/images/favicon.ico") %>"/>
Works in all major browsers including IE 7 and 8. Haven't tested 6. Note that this is just like Ken's answer but a not-fully-qualified path is generated. The browser sees this:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/Content/images/favicon.ico"/>
