VB.NET Web-App: ImageField not displaying image in GridView

[Raiders8180]

Hi, I'm new to the community (1st post) so I hope I didn't leave anything out.
I have a gridview (grdPics) created with 1 Imagefiled (picname) which contains the URL to where the image is stored.

asp code...

<asp:GridView ID="grdPics" runat="server" Height="136px" Style="z-index: 133; left: 32px;
            position: absolute; top: 600px" Width="464px" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
            <Columns>
                <asp:ImageField DataImageUrlField="picname">
                </asp:ImageField>
            </Columns>
        </asp:GridView>
 

vb.net code

sql = ("SELECT RTrim(qpicname) as picname FROM MYFILE where quote# = '" & strQuote & "'")
            cmd = New iDB2Command(sql, cn)
            da.SelectCommand = cmd
            da.Fill(ds, "Pics")
            grdPics.DataSource = ds
            grdPics.DataMember = "Pics"
            grdPics.DataBind()
 

When the gridview displays I just have the red x where the picture should be.
Things I've checked...
- Picture does exist in the folder where the URL is pointing
- SQL command is correct and does bring back the data expected.

What else did I miss??? I'm sure it's something simple.
Any Help would be appreciated.

Is the folder where your pictures are located in your web application's root directory?

You have to make sure that the folder is on the Web Server (IIS... wwwroot folder)so that the web browsers can access the photos. They can't be located on any folder on the computer.
