Hi

I am devloping a shopping cart project.
I have datalist on my home page to show items with their images and other details from database.

I have an image control into datalist id = "Image1"
and one more image control on my home page id = "Image2"

When i am trying to retrieve images from database which are in binary format

if i use Image2.imageUrl = "code "
then it works fine and show image in this control at home page.

but i want to show that image into image control into datalist which have the id = "Image1"
So when i use Image1.ImageUrl = " "
this give an error that "Image1 is not declared"

I mean when i try to use the Image1 control in my code behind file it gives an error that "Image1 is not Declared"

Please tell me how can i access this id on my code behind file or how can i use the id of an image control which is in datalist.

Hope the problem is clear to you.
Please Reply it soon. Its very Urgent.

Thanx & Regards

Well Jasdeep

You cannot directly refer to the image control which is inside the datagrid, you have to first find the control, cast it and then set the src, may be you can do it in the ItemDataBound event as below:

HtmlImage imgShopping;

            if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
            {
                imgShopping = (HtmlImage) e.Item.FindControl("Image1");
                imgShopping.Src = "abc.jpg";

            }

hey MIKE
Thanx for answering.
but sorry to say this hasn't solve my problem.

Let me tell u full scenario then you will better guide me.

I am developing a project on shopping cart.
I have Some Items with their details(id,code,name,price,quantity etc.) into my database in "tbl_items"
I have 1 more table "tbl_images" in this i have images for the above items. The code is same in both tables.

Now i have datalist on my home page.

I made a query with sqldataadapter select * from tbl_items
and bind it with the datalist
and 1 another query which retrieve image with their code and extension from tbl_images

The image stored into a folder in my application and the path has been stored into database in tbl_images table

now i have retrieved that images corresponding to the items but how to bind that image with datalist right after the name of an item.
Please suggest and if not clear my problem you can ask for more clues.

Hope to get a reply very soon.

Thanxs & Regrads

Well

Thats what I said friend, you have to bind the image's src within the itemdatabound event of your datalist, for e.g. your datalist could be as below:

<asp:DataList Runat="server" id="dlShopping" RepeatColumns="4" RepeatDirection="Horizontal">
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
                        <tr>
                            <td><%=DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"ImageNa me")%></td>
                        </tr>
                        <tr>
                            <td><img id="Image1" runat="server"></td>
                        </tr>
                    </table>
                </ItemTemplate>
            </asp:DataList>

Mike
