Hi everyone!
How can we bind a data which is selected from a database to a control(not datagrid ,datalist or repeater) such as a Label or a Linkbutton control ?
for example,if I want to bind a picture to the linkbutton control,and the picture is stored in a database,so how shall I do?

Thanks in advance!

You cant bind data from database to Label or LinkButton control.

You can't???

What about something like this:

<asp:Label id="lblTest" runat="server" Text='<%# SomeDatabindingExpression %>' />

Wouldn't that bind the results of SomeDatabindingExpression to the label?

Candle, are you trying to display a blob from the database, or did you store the *path* to the image in the database?

Sorry Candle,as imar said you can bind data for label controls using databinding expression.But we can't directly bind as we do in DataGrid,DataList or repeater controls.You can put the database related operations in function and return the whatever value you want to bind to label control using <%#%>..

thanks!
I did store the path of the image in the database,but cannot bind it to the linkbutton's imageurl property.maybe i can use a function.
