Reading Images in Datalist/gridview from single directory

[parshupooja]

Hello,

I am using ASP.Net C#. I am trying to create a datalist on asp.net page. I want 3 columns: Image, Title and Description.
My problem is I have tons of images in single directory based on quater system. I want this datalist in such a way that it should automatically load all the images in first column one by one based on current quater and second and third column empty, so that user can add title and description to image.

after adding description and title to all images I will save this information into new table.

Any Idea? any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

'try this code list out all image from Directory, U can add these File names in Datatable and thn Add tht DataTable as DataSource to DataGrid or Data List

' Check whether Path is Exist or not
If Not Directory.Exists(sPath) Then Exit Sub

Try

Dim di As New DirectoryInfo(sPath)
Dim aryFi As System.IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles("*.jpg")
Dim fi As System.IO.FileInfo
For Each fi In aryFi
sFilename = fi.Name
Next
Catch ex As Exception
End Try

        // if it does, we are navigating a folder that is under the root folder
        // if it does not, we start at the root folder by default
