nGallery is a FREEWARE, OPEN SOURCE implementation of a image gallery written purely in managed .NET and C#.

nGallery provides a solution to store and display your image galleries on your own Web site, as well as providing means for customizing and extending nGallery to your own personal likings.

System Requirements: 

• Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) 
• Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 * 
• Ability to manage directory-level permissions 
• Ability to configure a directory as an application directory (for global.asax processing) 
• While a database is not required, if you wish to run the SQL Server data provider you obviously must have access to Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 or above.

        * = nGallery is currently untested with Mono.

Features:

• Allows creation and customization of Albums to contain your images
• Provides automatic thumbnailing, and caching, of your images for faster loading
• Allows users to comment or caption images
• Allows users to select a specific picture within an album to be used to highlight the album's contents
• Contains a full Web-based administration tool for managing your albums, images, comments/captions, including uploading your images for you, or bulk adding images that have been previously uploaded
• Allows you to quickly send an e-mail with a link of your gallery, a specific album or a specific image to a friend or list of friends
• The look and feel of your nGallery is fully customizable, without touching any code
• Supports the concept of "skinning" where users can customize the look and feel of nGallery and then easily share those with the community
• Integrates with Shutterfly so that you can transfer and print images
• Allows you to customize the album-listing page to be either in line or a grid layout
• Configures almost all features in one central text file
• Allows you to secure the administration tool
• Allows you to password protect your entire photo gallery
