Question

This is my Gridview

<asp:GridView ID='GridView2' runat='server' AutoGenerateColumns='False' Height='191px'         Width='333px'>         <Columns>             <asp:ImageField HeaderText='Image'>             </asp:ImageField>             <asp:BoundField DataField='ID' HeaderText='ID' SortExpression='ID' />             <asp:BoundField DataField='Rate_Type' HeaderText='Rate_Type' SortExpression='Rate_Type' />         </Columns>     </asp:GridView> 

This is in my Code Behind inside my Page Load………….

        SqlConnection myConnection;         DataSet dataSet = new DataSet();         SqlDataAdapter adapter;          //making my connection         myConnection = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings['MyConnectionString'].ConnectionString);          adapter = new SqlDataAdapter('Select ID, Rate_Type from Rate_Record', myConnection);          adapter.Fill(dataSet, 'MyData');          GridView2.DataSource = dataSet;         GridView2.DataBind(); 

Now as you will see i have a ImageField inside my gridview. When the ID = 1 then i want to show the image located here ~/pics/ID1/MyImage.jpg and so on and so on. I also want to show a Thumbnail of the Image so the User dont have to download the WHOLE image.

Any help will be great!

<asp:ImageField HeaderText='Image' DataImageUrlField='ID'   DataImageUrlFormatString='~/pics/ID{0}/MyImage.jpg'     AlternateText='Image Description' ReadOnly='true' /> 

Ideally you should have thumbnail images in this folder. Another way is to have thumbnail images prefixed with an identifier such as ‘thumb_‘ (thumb_MyImage.jpg).
