(coutn the images belong to category), i able to display first 2 values from
database, but how to dispalyg the image counted data in DataList ?
Here is my code which doesnt working:(i am using code behind to pull the
data from DB)
<ItemTemplate >

<table cellpadding=10 style="font: 11px verdana" border="0" class="border"
width="100%" height="160">

<tr><td valign="top"><d iv class="thumb">< a href='<%#
DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "CatID",
"ShowThumbnails .aspx?qsCatID={ 0}") %>' ><img align="top"
src="Images/splash.gif"></a></div></td></tr>
<tr><td>Categor y: <b><%#DataBinde r.Eval(Containe r.DataItem,
"CategoryName") %></b><br>

Description: <%#DataBinder.E val(Container.D ataItem, "Description")% ><br>

Files Count:<b><asp:L abel ID="lblCountFil es" runat="server"> </asp:Label>
</b></td></tr></table>

</ItemTemplate>

in code behind file it gives me an error that "lblCountFi les" not declared.

It seems you are trying to refer to the Label directly in your code behind.
You will have to use FindControl() method of DataListItem in your
IteamDataBound event to get the label object. And using that object you can
set the value.

Hope that helps. If not please post the code behind code as well so that it
can be checked for possible errors.

Regards,
HP
