Question

I want the below format to be done from my codebehind:

<a href="">
<img src=""/>
</a>

I have done this way but I am not able to add image to <a href>
Can anyone say me how to do that?

Here is my code:

Dim urls As New List(Of String)
                urls.Add("Downloads/" & Session("tempDir").ToString & "/" & filename)
                For Each imageURL As String In urls
                    Dim img = New System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image()
                    img.ImageUrl = imageURL
                    img.Attributes.Add("src", "Downloads/" & Session("tempDir").ToString & "/" & filename)
                    img.Attributes.Add("rel", "group2")
                    img.Width = 75
                    img.Height = 50
                    img.CssClass = "clickImage"
                    img.ImageAlign = HorizontalAlign.Left
                    Me.FinalPreview.Controls.Add(img)
                Next

I have found this:

Dim anchor As New HtmlGenericControl("a")
anchor.Attributes.Add("href", "#")

But I am not able to understand how do I add img to this If I add control the total img is not showing up.

You can do it using Literal control

Place a literal control on the page and then add its text like this…

Dim strb as New StringBuilder()    
For Each imageURL As String In urls
   strb.Append("<a href='#'><img src='").Append(imageURL).Append("' /></a>");
Next
litImage.Text = strb.ToString()
