Adding ImageButton into Datalist

Am trying to add an Image Button into a Datalist at Design time.

When I run it it comes up with error: Server tag not well formed.

It works perfectly when I add just an Image Control. Please help.

<asp:DataList
id="dlstframes "
runat="server">
<ItemTemplate >
<asp:ImageButto n runat="server"
ImageUrl="<%# Container.DataI tem("pictues") %>" />
</ItemTemplate>
</aspataList>

Please do help. I have serched thru the net to find something to solve this
problem. But cant find any clue.

You probably have figured out by now that you have typo in the syntax. You
needed to use single quotes to enclose the data binding expression because
the latter contains double quotation marks.

<asp:ImageButto n runat="server"
ImageUrl='<%# Container.DataI tem("pictues") %>' />

I also missed correcting the syntax for databinding which should have been:
<asp:ImageButto n runat="server" ImageUrl='<%#
DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "picturenam e") %>' />

I have tried changing the " to ' and have used DataBinder .Eval and now it
comes up with the error message

Control 'dlstProducts__ ctl0__ctl0' of type 'ImageButton' must be placed
inside a form tag with runat=server.

But when I close the <asp:ImageButto n with </asp:ImageButton > it still comes
up with error

Server tag not well formed.

Is this a problem with my compiler or something. It works perfectly with the
ordinary image control but not with the ImageButton control.

I really want to know what the problem is comeone help.

I take it that the only way to add rows to a DataList control is through DataBind? If not, how do I manually add rows to a DataList control? I have searched everywhere and can't find an example anywhere other than through building a DataTable, and then doing a DataBind. Thanks. Mike

Hi All, I have an aspx page with a datagrid which I am using to display a list of thumbnails and their descriptions.

I have a DataGrid that I'm adding CheckBox controls to at runtime (in the code behind) and I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly. First of all, I noticed that the MyDataGrid.Columns.Add() method expects a DataGridColumn so I instantiated an object of type TemplateColumn that I had hoped I could add a CheckBox to. I soon discovered that the ItemTemplate property of the TemplateColumn class returned an object that had implemented the...

I've got a custom user control, with a DataList, that is dynamically added to the page. In the DataList is an ImageButton that, when clicked, fires off the ItemCommand event of the DataList and passes the CommandName and CommandArgument of the ImageButton to the event handler. The event handler then passes data to another user control (cart) on the same page and displays some data. This all works great except for the very first time one of the...
