Hi, A very simple question.

I have a formview which displays an image control.
I want to pass the ImageUrl to it by composing a string in 3 parts: folder location, Id value & extension.

~/images
Eval"(Id")
.jpg

Have to be combined to give this

"~/images/3.jpg"

How do I compose this string 'on the fly' within the formview? My old school asp attempts throw up yellow screens!

regards, Guy

You can just combine them:

ImageUrl='<%# "SomeStaticPart/" + Eval("Id").ToString() + ".jpg" %>'

For VB, you may need to use & instead of +

Hope this helps,

Imar
