Binding Image Controls to a Dataset?

[gemel]

I have a set of images on a SQL2000 server that I use on a Windows
Application by binding to a dataset. The controls on a Web Application
require a URL. Is there a way that I can connect these controls to a
dataset?

You'll have to generate <img> or <asp:Image> in your DataSet that point back
t your server., If the images themselves are in the database, then I'd suggest
building a handler that lodas the images from your database (perhaps by a
QueryString passed in the URL). I don't have a sample that pulls images from
the database, but I do have a sample that shows building a handler that serves
up images. You'd just have to modify it to load them from the database instead:

John:

What you can do, if you are not going to have the image files on disk,
is point to the URL of a page that can fetch the image from the
database and binary write the contents into the response.
