Similar to what @JaneDoe suggest, you’ll need to specify the ImageUrl, however when you bind, you’ll need to set the ImageUrl property to point to an HttpHandler with the primary key as a query string parameter.
e.g.
<asp:Image runat="server" ImageUrl="/myImageHandler.axd?pk=<%# Eval("PrimaryKey") %>"/>You’ll then need to configure your HttpHandler to send a response of image/jpeg or whatever image type you’re storing and then read the varbinary data from the DB based on the PK passed in, in the query string and output that data to the response stream.
