Width property won't work with my Hyperlinks in DataGrid 1

[ookete]

Hello, I am new to ASP.NET and I am using a TemplateColumn in a datagrid as follows, but the width property seems to do nothing (really a pain when the image is large):

<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="My Image">
   <ItemTemplate>
      <asp:HyperLink ImageUrl='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "FilePath")) %>'
       Width="100px"
       NavigateUrl='[URL unfurl="true"]http://myPage.html'[/URL] Target=_blank Runat="server" />
   </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>

When I use an Image instead of a hyperlink, the width property works great, but then I lose the hyperlink capability. Am I doing something wrong, or does Width not really supposed to control the image width? Thanks for your help!

The width property will only control the width of the hyperlink, not the image so depending on the size of the image you may not notice any difference (which seems to be the case here).

Instead, you could use a standard anchor tag and an image server control. e.g.

<a href="mypage.aspx"><asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "FilePath")) %>' /></a>
