Hi.

I'm pretty new to module development, but I'm trying to make a simple news module.
For every "news-article" I want to include a picture.
I have a couple of questions:

1. What is the best way to use images in a module?
    My solution so far is to upload the image as a blob in the database. However, I'm not sure how to convert the byte stream back to a picture when I try to display it in the module.
    I also thought maybe it's better to use the picture upload included in a couple of modules in DNN. Does this function have a documented API somewhere that I missed?
2. I also want to make the module available in two different languages (I.E. the news can be displayed in either English or Norwegian). Where can I get the key that shows me the current localization option (The language chosen by the current user).

Thanks!

Thanks for the tip! Do you know where I can find documentation on how to use those templates?

(PS. I know there are modules out there that can handle this already, but I'm doing it because I'm trying to learn how to make a module from scratch)

Also, you might want to look at my MLAdvAnnouncements module. It supports images as well, and is completely multilanguage (http://www.apollo-software.nl/DotNetNuke/Modules/MLAdvAnnouncements/tabid/224/Default.aspx)
