Answer 1

There isn’t anything wrong with your code. Assuming latestrow.thumb is null, you’d receive the no-pic.gif.

My only guess is that latestrow.thumb has some value other than null. Perhaps using this would be a better approach assuming the value of thumb could be blank or null (and assuming it is a string):

@if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(latestrow.thumb))

If this doesn’t work, check the model being sent to the view and see what’s in that property. Chances are it’s populated with some value, even perhaps a blank space.

Good luck.
