When you add an Image programmatically...

[Rob Meade]

Hi all,

I want to add an Image programmatically, but it needs to be a hyperlink - so
do I add a Hyperlink object and then set its 'text' to be the "<img src="
etc or do I add a hyperlink and add a control to that which is the image??

Any info appreciated,

Regards

Rob

Dim hl As New HyperLink()
hl.ImageUrl = "http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif"
hl.NavigateUrl = "http://www.google.com"
Holder.Controls.Add(hl)

Hi Ryan,

Many thanks for that - typical isn't it - I just tried it the way I
suggested and it works fine - now I see your code which is a good few lines
less - always the way

I think I'll adopt your approach as its less code - easier to refer back to
later.

Ooow - just one thought though - can you also set the images width, height
and border settigns??

I don't believe you can with the ImageUrl method. If you want to you will
most likely need to do what you initially said. That is, set the text to be
'<img height="..." width="..." src="...">'

Or do a new Image object and then add that object via the controls.add
etc...thats what I've got at the mo - seems to be ok and gives the extra
functionality ..

Cheers for that earlier snippet though - I've added that to my little code
respository to use where I dont need to be so specific with the images
attributes )
