Displaying *.jpeg pictures in a datagrid control

[leassaf]

I’m displaying a datagrid on a web form. The grid is bound to a query in an Access 2000 database. One of the fields in that query is a relative path to *.jpeg pictures. Is there a way of displaying the picture in each row for that datagrid? I was thinking of an ItemTemplate in which I would put an Image control but couldn’t see how. Detailed explanations would be greatly appreciated.

Ciao,

Hi
No Problem
Convert the column to a template column using the property builder and find the bit of HTML that it has generated for this column.

Change the item template to look like this

<asp:Image ImageUrl='<%# databinder.eval(container, &quot;DataItem.Image_Path&quot %>' Runat=server></asp:Image>

Then bind the grid in the normal way.

This just worked fine for me, so if you've any questions, post again
