This is a ASP.NET VB guestion.

In making a file upload optional, when someone decides not to upload a file, is there a way to make the display page appear without that broken gif image? Maybe with words that say, "image not provided" - something like that....

I am using Dreamweaver MX 2004, ASP.NET VB, Windows 2003 server, MsSQL database.

This is what I've come up with but it doesn't work, I've looked everwhere Experts Exchange, DMZ Zone, etc. and no one can help.

<if isEmpty(dsProperty("Image_01)Response.Write "No Image" Else Response.Write "<img src="../property/<%# dsProperty.FieldValue("Image_01", Container) %>">

You can create a image that reads 'no image' and send use it if the upload is blank. That way there will alwasy be an image file.

I have tried that, but it will not display either the uploaded image or the no image gif, and to be safe I also tried it with <If isNulls(dsProperty("Image_01"))
Now the field is nchar, but I don't think that should have any effect on this.

Code from the page:

<If isEmpty(dsProperty(Image_01)) Response.Write "<img src="http://www.wdthost.com/property/00image.gif" Else Response.Write"<img src="http://www.wdthost.com/property/<%# dsProperty.FieldValue("Image_01", Container) %>">

Code blocks need the be between <% and %> and Response.Write should have parenthesis like this:

Response.Write("Test message...")

As stu9820 said it must be in <% %> tags, and I don't think you have to have the parenthesis, and also, to include quotes " in script, you need to double up like this:

Response.Write ("And I say, ""Hello World!""")

HTH,

AFAIK, for ASP.NET the parentheses are required.

But dstubblefield, isn't it much easier to use databinding in your code behind? Use an ASP:Image control and then bind the image to your data....
