Images in DropDownList

[Richard]

How would I display images in an asp.net dropdownlist using vb.net? I have a
webform where the user can modify product info (cost, description, etc.). The
info is in a ss2000 database. There is also an nvarchar field that points to
an image on the server. I know how to display the images in a datagrid, but
how would I pull the images into a dropdownlist so that the user can select a
different image for the product?

The standard HTML dropdown list cannot display images.
Therefore you'll need a 3rd party control, or you'll need to make one of
your own by using copious amounts of javascript to make it look realistic.
He're more info about making a custom dropdownlist.
