Display an images in Datagrid

[sameer]

Hi All,
heres an easy question which for benig new , i cannot figure it out.

A datatable pulled from the database which has 10 columns is binded to a
datagrid and it shows all of them in the datagrid successfully. Now i want to
add an image next to each record inteh grid, the image is stored on the
server( not in the dabtase) but the datatable has the path of the image
(since the path is stored in the database).

The question is how can i show this image in the datagrid right next to each
record.
Woudl be great if someone points to samples.

thanks

You can add a TemplateColumn with a Image server control defined inside its
ItemTemplate:

<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Person Name">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Image ImageUrl =<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ImagePath")%>
Runat=server ></asp:Image>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>

right now i did not set any template for the columns of this grid,i jsut take
the datatable and bind it to the datagrid. So when i add this template column
, woudl i have to change any properties like define all the other columns as
well? or it shold work seemless?

thanks

Hi Sameer,

Explicitly declared template columns appear first followed by the
Auto-generated columns.
