problem using Image control in DataList

[Vitalii]

Hi

I am using Image control with DataList control but have a problem. Here is the code I am using

<asp:Image ImageURL='<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "imagefilen ame" ) %>' Runat="Server" /

I would like to change it to something like this

<asp:Image ImageURL='image s/<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "imagefilen ame" ) %>' Runat="Server" /

In other words, I would like to add a folder name part to the ImageURL value. However it doesn't seem to work properly. What should I do

Thank you in advance

Vitalii

Try concatenating images/ with the Eval.

Not sure if you just need

or

Create a function in the code behind and call it from the databinding. It
will look like this:

'---Code behind function:
Public Function GetImagePath(By Val imageFileName As String) As String
Return "images/" & imageFileName
End Function

Then on the calling page call this function passing in the data:
<asp:Image ImageURL='<%# GetImagePath(Da taBinder.Eval(C ontainer.DataIt em,
"imagefilen ame" )) %>' Runat="Server" />
