Change imageButton image in a master page

[danmoran]

I would like to change the image on animageButton as this is clicked by the user.

when the master page is loaded it shows the btnHome.ImageUr l = "~/images/home.jpg";

But when the user clicks on the btnHome, its ImageUrl should change to btnHome.ImageUr l = "~/images/homeSelected.jp g";

The imageButton should change from a selected image to nonselected.

Thanks so much

Modify imageButton.Ima geUrl in a master page

I have a master page which included several ImageButtons controls. I would like the image on each of these buttons to change as the user clicks on determined button. For example, the home (button) when clicked will show the image homeSelected.jp g, when is not selected willl show the home.jpg.

Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated.

The way I see it you have a couple of options.
You could either access the home button in the MasterPage from your Content Page and set the image accordingly...o r you could check the URL in the master page and set the image accordingly.

I think the first way makes the most sense: leave the responsibility up to the content page since instead of having a huge if/else (or switch/select-case) in your master page.

To access the button in the master page you would use the FindControl method.
Something like this:
(vb.net)

CType(Master.FindControl("btnHome"), ImageButton).ImageUrl = "~/images/homeSelected.jpg"

(c#)

(ImageButton)Master.FindControl("btnHome").ImageUrl = "~/images/homeSelected.jpg";

Thanks alot for your help!!! I came up with the following code and it works right.

        ImageButton myImageButton = new ImageButton();
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            myImageButton = (ImageButton)Master.FindControl("btnHome");
            if (myImageButton.ImageUrl == "~/images/home.jpg")
            {
                myImageButton.ImageUrl="~/images/homeSelected.jpg";
            }
        }
