Hi Imar,

Do you know where I can find more information on eval() or its syntax?

I understand it is used to get the database fields as in eval("ImageUrl") to obtain the the URL for the image from the database table.

The reason I ask is that in my database I have two fields that make up the URL for the image. One I call Path and the other is Filename. On page 469, you use eval to obtain the ImageUrl, (which has the complete image URL in it. In mine, I have to string together eval("Path") and eval("Filename") and then I can assign them to the ImageUrl property of the Image control.

My two field contents resemble this:

Path: (nvarchar)
~/folder1/folder2/

Filename: (nvarchar)
Image1.jpg

I need it to be like this:

~/folder1/folder2/Image1.jpg

I imagine it is done in the code behind, but I'm not sure how.

Here's a link to information about embedded code blocks:

And here's a link to information about the Eval() function
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...al(VS.90).aspx

To do what you'rr asking for would probably look something like this:
<%# Eval("Path") + Eval("Filename") %>

Thanks Pegasus40218,

As soon as I typed your version the pictures came right up.

I was thinking along the same lines, but my syntax was not right and therefore the reason the pictures didn't show.

I tried:

<%# Eval("Path" + "Filename") %>

and

<%# Eval("Path") %> + <%# Eval("Filename") %>

Close but no cigar, eh!

Thanks again,
Fred
