Is there any way to pull multiple file formats from a source?
I am currently pulling all .jpg files but I like to be able to pull both .jpg and .pdf.

Thanks

What I have tried:

<itemtemplate>
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLinkParts" runat="server" Text= '<%# Eval("PartNumber") %>'
NavigateUrl= '<%#Eval("PartNumber", "~/Hardware/{0}.jpg") %>'

I'd strongly suggest to read this: ASP.NET data binding overview[^]

You'll probably need to do your data-binding in the code-behind rather than use Eval in the mark-up. It gives you much better control and you can bind to different extensions depending on the data-type as you're obviously hard-coding to jpg in the mark-up.

This shows the basic principals

So you use FindControl to get the hyperlink in your row binding event and you update the NavigateUrl of that link depending on the data for that row....so if you're binding to an image use the right extension, if it's a pdf use the extension for that.
