Can asp:image work as href or...

JimP · February 12th, 2011, 05:38 PM

Hi,

Can a <asp:image be used as an href or to open Url's?

<p><asp:Image id="Image1" ImageUrl="~/Img/Img1.jpg" runat="server"/></p>

Hi Jim,

No, the Image control doesn't support that. However, you can turn things around and assign an image to a HyperLink or ImageButton:

Code:

 
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/Img/Img1.jpg" />
<asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton1" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/Img/Img1.jpg" />

Hope this helps,

Imar

Hi Imar,

Thank you, that looks great. But, it did not work in my code...
I get a: System.FormatException: Input string was invalid format
when I hit Button1

Can you take a look?

<script runat="server">
Sub submit(Sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
if red.Checked then
Hyperlink1.ImageUrl = "~/Img/Img1.jpg" And
Hyperlink1.NavigateUrl = "http://www.vg.no"
elseIf green.Checked then
Hyperlink1.ImageUrl = "~/Img/Img2.jpg" And
Hyperlink1.NavigateUrl = "http://www.dn.no"
elseIf blue.Checked then
Hyperlink1.ImageUrl = "~/Img/Img3.jpg"
end if
End Sub
</script>

<html>
<body>

<form id="Form1" runat="server">
Select:
<br />
<asp:RadioButton id="red" Text="Red" Checked="True"
GroupName="colors" runat="server"/>
<br />
<asp:RadioButton id="green" Text="Green"
GroupName="colors" runat="server"/>
<br />
<asp:RadioButton id="blue" Text="Blue"
GroupName="colors" runat="server"/>
<br />
<asp:Button ID="Button1" text="Submit" OnClick="submit" runat="server"/>
<p><asp:HyperLink id="Hyperlink1" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/Img/Img1.jpg" NavigateUrl= /></p>
 <p><asp:Label id="Label1" runat="server"/></p>
</form>

Thanks!

Him Jim,

The And keywords shouldn't be there. Each assignment should simply be placed on its own line.

Cheers,

Imar
