I'm sorry for this question as I believe it probably is really basic, but I seem to have a lot of trouble with it.
What I'm trying to do is get the picture that I saved in the database and bind it to the ListView I have.
In the Database I don't have the picture itself, I have the name of the picture and so I want to try to fetch it using its PathWay.
I'm using ASP.NET Web Forms Web Site Here is the ListView so you could get a better understanding of what I mean
<asp:ListView runat="server" ID="lvBrands" OnItemDataBound="lvBrands_ItemDataBound">
<LayoutTemplate>
<ul class="grid portfolio isotope no-transition portfolio-hex portfolio-shadows row demo-3 os-animation" data-os-animation="fadeInUp">
<li runat="server" id="itemPlaceholder"></li>
</ul>
</LayoutTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<li class="portfolio-item col-md-3 col-sm-3 style fashion grid cs-style-3">
<figure class="portfolio-figure">
<img src="images/products/test.jpg" alt="work-01" />
<figcaption>
<h4 class="title purpleColored" color="#58387B"><%# Eval("name") %></h4>
<span><%# Eval("keyword") %></span> <a class="text-right" href="javascript:;"><i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i></a>
</figcaption>
</figure>
</li>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
Instead of <img src=... />
i want the picture pathway to be attached so it can display the appropriate picture for the appropriate brand.
The Brands is a table I created in sql, basically the relation between Brands and Pictures is one-to-many (One Brand can have many pictures)
In what I've searched so far, I saw that it was better to use the OnItemDataBound
to get the picture from the db, any further help would be much appreciated.
Here is the c# code for further help
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
public partial class index : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
DisplayBrands();
}
}
protected void DisplayBrands()
{
using (Entities db = new Entities())
{
List<Brand> brand = db.Brands.ToList();
lvBrands.DataSource = brand.OrderByDescending(b => b.date_created);
lvBrands.DataBind();
}
}
}
I know for a fact I should specify the function lvBrands_ItemDataBound, but I honestly don't know what to add.
Any help would be amazing, Thank you!
<img src="images/products/test.jpg" alt="work-01" />
Change above like below
<img src='<%# @"images/products/" + Eval("Image_name") %>' alt="work-01" />
"Image_name" should be the name of the column, where you store the picture name.
