Hi

I have created a gallery of images that are retrieved from a a database (along with other image information) and bound to a datalist control. I have made the images selectable and now need to display the images as well as the image details. How do I go about displaying the images in a popup window with the image details in the window as well, when the SelectedIndexChange or OnItemCommand event is fired? Also which event do I use? I am using a linkbutton with the text property set to the image URL.



Bikinis are like Statistics - What they reveal is suggestive but what they conceal is vital.

Do something like this:

    Private Sub dgItemBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles [datagrid].ItemDataBound
        Dim lb As LinkButton
        If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Or e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Then
            lb = CType(e.Item.Cells([cell your link button is in]).FindControl([linkbutton name]), LinkButton)
            lb.Attributes.Add("onClick", [Client Side Javascript that spawns your popup])
        End If

    End Sub

For you javascript create a function that takes a string as a parameter for example: popup(url) and in your url do something like this: mypage.aspx?imgid=[imgid] then process the necessary information based upon that id.

I'm programming in C#. I think I get the just of what you're saying though, but if you could would you mind translating that VB into C#?

It is generally a good idea to know both languages then you dont have to ask for the conversion anyway

private void dgItemBound(object sender, DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
 LinkButton lb;
 if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item | e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem) {
   lb = ((LinkButton)(e.Item.Cells([cell lb is located in]).FindControl([lb name])));
   lb.Attributes.Add("onClick", [Javascript to call the popup]);
 }
}
