Thank you for your time to suggest an answer. This code works the same so I don't think I understand what you mean. Would you please clarify how I can replace the text on the linkbutton to say "link" instead of saying the entire URL in the datasource. You make a good point that the datasource does contain the URL's and not the actual picture.

Thank you for your suggestion. It is helpful and I am sure I can use it. This problem I am having relates to passing a file path stored in a database to the asp:Image option thru the parameter ImageUrl. So the image is not on the database directly but rather the link to the picture. Can you help in this area? I hope so. Thanks for you time!

Yes thank you for your suggestion. I do feel this is a problem. In my ImgUrl I have "ImgLnk", but I don't know how to tell ImageUrl to use the file path in the database column ImgLnk and not to use ImgLnk as the file path.

This process works fine in Gridview when I use DataImageUrlField="ImgLnk". I am hoping to not use Gridview but to show the image directly. Thanks so much for any help you can offer!

So sorry! I see your dilemma...

My problem is that in the ImageUrl field I have "ImgLnk" which is a url field in my database. I can't show the picture because I can't convey to ImageUrl to use the file path "ImgLnk" in database to retrieve the picture. Currently ImageUrl is trying to find the path "ImgLnk" as thought ImgLnk were a Url.

I hope this explanation helps you guide me to the correction I need to make as this is the last part of the project and I am stuck! Thanks.

Yes I think you are right and I will! Thanks.

So this technique works wonderfully. The image was showing in a modal popup up window and now it is not. However, I think there must be a problem that is differently related so...

This is the answer for me! Thanks so much each of you. If anyone has a suggestion of a book that might help as I learn, I will be most grateful.

Yes Thank you. I have tried your suggestion. The modal popup does appear, but the picture that is access by the url contained in "ImgLnk" in the sqlDb does not appear. It is as though the eval condition is ignored. I am learning from your helpful suggestion though!

Thanks everyone for your help to this point! When I have tried your solution of (...System.EventArgs e)I get this message which has added to my confusion: the 'System.EventArgs' does not contain a definition for 'CommandName' and no extension method 'CommandName' accepting a first argument of type 'System.EventArgs' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Please continue to offer suggestions...I will try them all!
