Reading Images in Datalist/gridview from single directory

[parshupooja]

Hello,

I am using ASP.Net C#. I am trying to create a datalist on asp.net page. I want 3 columns: Image, Title and Description.
My problem is I have tons of images in single directory based on quater system. I want this datalist in such a way that it should automatically load all the images in first column one by one based on current quater and second and third column empty, so that user can add title and description to image.

after adding description and title to all images I will save this information into new table.

Any Idea? any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

'try this code list out all image from Directory, U can add these File names in Datatable and thn Add tht DataTable as DataSource to DataGrid or Data List

' Check whether Path is Exist or not
If Not Directory.Exist s(sPath) Then Exit Sub

Try

Dim di As New DirectoryInfo(s Path)
Dim aryFi As System.IO.FileI nfo() = di.GetFiles("*. jpg")
Dim fi As System.IO.FileI nfo
For Each fi In aryFi
sFilename = fi.Name

[code=C#]

using System.IO;

public partial class Images: System.Web.UI.P age
{
string strDriveLetter = "C:/";
string strDefaultPath = "Documents and Settings/All Users/Documents/My Pictures/Sample Pictures";
protected void Page_Load(objec t sender, EventArgs e)
{
string strPath;
// check if the query string variable "strPath" has a value
// if it does, we are navigating a folder that is under the root folder
// if it does not, we start at the root folder by default
if (Request.QueryS tring["strPath"] != null)
{
strPath = Request.QuerySt ring["strPath"];
}
else
{
strPath = strDefaultPath;
}

DisplayDirConte nts(strPath);

}

private void DisplayDirConte nts(string strPath)
{


// function to display list of folders and files in specified path
// define some arrays
DirectoryInfo[] aryDirectories;
FileInfo[] aryFiles;

// variable to store the complete file system path to the folder
string strFSPath = strDriveLetter + strPath;

// some string manipulation to get the name of the current script
string strCurrentScrip t = Request.ServerV ariables["URL"];
string[] arrURL = strCurrentScrip t.Split('/');
strCurrentScrip t = arrURL[arrURL.Length - 1];
// instantiate local instance of DirectoryInfo object
DirectoryInfo objCurrentDirec tory = new DirectoryInfo(s trFSPath);

// get the directories present in the current folder
// as an array of DirectoryInfo objects
aryDirectories = objCurrentDirec tory.GetDirecto ries();

// check if the current folder has any files
if (aryFiles.Lengt h != 0)
{

// if it does, then iterate and
// display the information about each file
foreach (FileInfo objFile in aryFiles)
{
output.Text += objFile.Name;
output.Text += "<br />";

}
}

}
