using an image for the hyperlink

[NewFromMattel]

I'm new to ASP.net, using C#, and I'm doing a pretty good job of figuring things out. Slowly, but getting there. I bought the Programming ASP.Net O'Reilly book. Very good book. But, here's my question.

I'm getting the hang of datagrids, but I want to use my own images for edit, cancel, etc but see no way to do that.

Any suggestions?

thanks

Ok, I've found this.

For my first column, I use:
<asp:TemplateColumn>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink ImageUrl=&quot;images/pencilEdit.gif&quot; Runat=&quot;server&quot; ID=&quot;editMovie&quot; NAME=&quot;editMovie&quot;/>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>

But now I'm trying to set the NavigateUrl parameter of this HyperLink tag, but can't set it. I can either set it to some text, or, the &quot;evaluated&quot; value of MovieID (the data from the database). But can't concatenate them together for a full url for an edit link.

Any ideas?

Ok, this works. Back to the basics of HTML. ha. But is there an ASP.net/C# way to do this?

<asp:TemplateColumn>
<ItemTemplate>
<a href='editMovie.aspx?movieID=<%# Convert.ToString(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,&quot;MovieID&quot) %>'>
<img src=&quot;images/pencilEdit.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;>
</a>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>

Ok, here's the answer:

<asp:HyperLink
ImageUrl=&quot;icon0.gif&quot;
NavigateUrl='<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.DataItem,&quot;ID&quot;, &quot;no1.aspx?ID1={0}&quot %>'
Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.DataItem,&quot;IDtitle&quot;, &quot;Some text to show before the db title of the thing you working on {0}&quot %>'
Runat=&quot;server&quot; ID=&quot;editLink&quot; />
