newbie: load image from db + Repeater

[Jeff]

hey

asp.net 2.0

With the help of a Repeater control on my webpage I want to dynamically
generate a list which contains both images and text field. This data are
stored in the aspnetdb.mdf database.

I know it's possible to have the imag tag to point to a .aspx file (<img
src="getImage.aspx" />)

This is the Page_Load event I have in my getImage.aspx file
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Profile.Picture != null)
{
Response.ContentType = Profile.PictureType;
Response.BinaryWrite(Profile.Picture);
Response.End();
}
}

The getImage.aspx file above is used another place in my project. My PROBLEM
is that I don't know how to adapt (make another version of getImage.aspx
which suit the repeater) this getImage.aspx file into the Repeater control.
More specific: in the Page_Load event of getImage.aspx you see that I'm
setting some properties of the Response object with some values of the
Profile object. But in the new getImage.aspx file (created specially for the
Repeater control) I must for each line in the Repeater control pass over the
correct ID to the Page_Load event so the getImage.aspx file knows what image
to load!

In other words how can I tell the Page_Load event what image to show. I
think about using a paramter. But my problem is that I don't know how to add
such a parameter. Maybe it could be passed in the EventArgs argument.. I'm
not sure....

Instead of sending the picture ID I could send over the bytes representing
the image. But even that, I (As Far As I Know) still have to send a paramter
to the Page_Load event

Any ideas how I should pass over such a parameter?

hello Jeff

you can track the id's and do something like getImage ( id ) in the
ItemDataBound event.

on this page is a similar example, though uses a GridView instead, but
logically it's the same
