Link to another page from gridview template image url databinding.

[jjjax64]

We have an .aspx page that has a datagrid which bring back some sql data and one of the columns in the datagrid is an image and is bound to a template which has a databinding of an image url which has a custom binding as follow to display corect image "Eval("Image", "\\app1\images\items_tn\tn_{0}")". This works fine and binds the correct image to the correct row. The image is a thumbnail so we'd like to have that image open up larger image when they click on it. I tried using various variations of above in the postbackurl to test but no good because doesn't know what {0}. Is this the best way to do this or is there another way I can just open a webpage and pass with a parameter such as image.aspx?id1=(0) or something in postbackurl? Thanks, Joe

research http handlers (ashx) and loading an image from a database. it's not exactly what you are doing, but it may give you some ideas on how to solve the problem.
