Adding images to a grid view server control programmatically

[Kalyani]

Is there a way to add images to a grid view server control
programmatically ? I tried storing the image url in the database but
only the url string gets displayed instead of the actual image.
Can anyone please suggest.

Private AnyDataSourceArray() As String = {"sample"} ' any datasource!

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
GridView1.DataSource = AnyDataSourceArray ' bind ur datasource
GridView1.DataBind()
End If
End Sub

Protected Sub GridView1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e
As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles
GridView1.RowDataBound
If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
CType(e.Row.FindControl("Image1"), Image).ImageUrl = "loading.gif"
' load your url image. may be a table column value
End If
End Sub

Isn't it obvious ? The Image url retrieved from the db must be bound
to the ImageUrl property of an Image control for it to be displayed as
an image.
