Hi,
I am using a template column. There is an image in that template column. But if I change the url of the image, image does not shown. I debugged program and I see that there is no wrong in path. I mean that my image is in true folder.
Code: --------------------
string new_url= "file:///F:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\PROJECT\\arrows\\arrow1.jpg";
System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image image= (System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image)datagrid1.Items[i].FindControl("Image1"); // i = index..
image.ImageUrl = new_url;
--------------------

This the code that I am changing image url. Is there any thing that I should write?
Thanks. -- huseyin_akturk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted via http://www.codecomments.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------

The URL you specify in the image isn't the path from the server's perspective.
The URL should be form the client's perspective. So it'll be a path the browser
can use to find the image. It'll look like "http://yourserver/yourapp/directory/arrow1.jpg".
The reason it was working before is probabaly because you were running your
browser on the same machine as the server, so the "file://" URI was accessible
form the browser.
