What do you mean link to an image?? A simple Image tag would suffice...

in visual studio in designer mode insert an image from the toolbox usually on left, right click on image and properties and select a link for the image.

or use the following code

<a href="http:/www.yahoo.com" ><img src='http://www.yahoo.com/logo.jpg' style='border:0px;' alt='yahoo.com logo' /></a>

hope that helps...

thanks

It is worthwhile to point out that 'Image' will appear at least twice in your toolbox (depending on your settings): once as a server control and once as an HTML control.

If all you need is a static image then the latter will suffice since all it is is:

html Code:

<image src="foo.jpg" ... />

If the image needs to be dynamic or you need to do some sort of manipulation to the properties are runtime use the former which will place:

aspnet Code:

<asp:Image id="image1" ImageUrl="foo.jpg" runat="server" ... />

in your code view.

Again your question is very broad but any of the scenarios provided in this thread will add an image to your Web Form.
