  Add image to Category listing

  Nov 04, 2011 02:35 AM|LINK

  I would like to add an image to the Category listing on the home page.  So instead of just the text, there would be a pic of the category itself.  My code is VB.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks,

  Tim

  hey tim

  Try this code hope it works for you too.

  Set an html img tag to your control where you want to display  image As i had this requirement in a datalist. so its like this for image display in Design view of page

  <img src='<%# bind_image(Convert.ToBoolean(Eval("IsActive")))%>' alt="is active"/>

  And for code behind i had created a method named bind_image 

  Public Function bind_image(var As Boolean) As String
  	Dim path As String = ""
  	If var = True Then
  		path = "../Images/Active.png"
  		Return path
  	Else
  		path = "../Images/Inactive.png"
  		Return path
  	End If
  End Function
  

  Hope it works for you and let me know if you have nay other issues too.

  Regards, Mayank

  Thank you for the help.  However, I am getting the following error now -

  DataBinding: 'AspNet.StarterKits.Classifieds.Web.CachedCategory' does not
  contain a property with the name 'IsActive'.

  Thanks,

  Tim
