Hi,

First of all Thank you Imar for having written such a magnific book. Big thanks to you.
I am using Internet explorer 8. Nobody has mentioned about the possible error at page 508 chapter 14.
I have tried but the following code didn`t work; the images were not showing up on the page every other thing was ok.
The code in the book is
<asp:Image ID="ImageUrl" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("ImageUrl") %>' />

So I changed the code as following and it worked. I don`t know if it is an issue with internet explorer 8
and it should be
<asp:Image ID="ImageUrl" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%# Eval("ImageUrl") %>' />

I used as master page management.master . I am not sure if the problem is connected with it or internet explorer 8 or something else, but I think this can help other coders.

Thank you

Hi there,

I am not sure what you mean. Page 508 shows a *label*, not an image, like this:

Code:

 
<asp:Label ID=âImageUrlLabelâ runat=âserverâ Text=â<%# Eval(âImageUrlâ) %>â /><br />

A Label has a Text property which, in this case, simly displays the path to the image.

On page 515, the label is then changed to an image to show the actual image:

Code:

 
<asp:Image ID=âImageUrlâ runat=âserverâ ImageUrl=â<%# Eval(âImageUrlâ) %>â />

Where exactly did you see the code you posted here?

P.S. Since this is a server side issue, the browser you're using doesn't matter. asp:Label or asp:Image never makes it to the browser. Instead, these controls are turned into their respective HTML (a span and an img tag) which is then sent to the browser.

Hope this helps,

Imar

Hi Imar,

Wow such a speed!
It is my mistake, you are right.
I spent all my day to find out this mistake. I should asked you earlier but I don`t know if it is possible to use this forum when we are stacked with our mistakes and cannot find any documentation for it? or because our lack of attention needing help to see the little mistake is it possible to use the forum?

Thank you for the kind reply all my best wishes.

I'd say it's possible. Obviously, you learn more by figuring it out yourself, but if you're stuck, feel free to use this forum....

Cheers,
