Question

I have got a problem with GridView because I do not understand how can I add pictures.

This code was imported by database (in GridView):

Name id

Robert 1

Robert 2

Robert 3

In designer: I clicked the GridView -> add new column -> Choose a field type -> ImageField

Header text -> “images”

Data field -> empty

Url Format String -> empty

I want to take data id from my second column in GridView and later put it in the third column –img src=”id.jpg”– this example can help me understand GridView. Can you help me?

I will try explain better:

EXAMPLE A:<asp:BoundField DataField="id" HeaderText="id" 
InsertVisible="False" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="id" />

EXAMPLE B:<asp:ImageField HeaderText="picture" DataField="img src="id from EXAMPLE A.jpg""></asp:ImageField>

Answer 1

you just need to use the DataImageUrlFormatString property and ending up having your ImageField like

<asp:ImageField 
        HeaderText="picture" 
        DataImageUrlField="id" 
        DataImageUrlFormatString="{0}.jpg" />
