  Hello,
  
  I have a database where the user may upload an alternative image for a device.
  If the image is not present in the database, the datasource returns a DBNull and the binary image should show the standard image file from the servers image directory.
  I used this code which works fine if the image is not present.
  
  

  <telerik:RadBinaryImage ID="RadBinaryImage1" runat="server"
   DataValue='<%# Eval("Data") is DBNull ? null : Eval("Data")%> '
   AlternateText=" " AutoAdjustImageControlSize="true" 
   ImageUrl='<%# Eval("Type", "~/Images/Devices/{0}_sml.png") %>'
   Width="64px" Height="64px" ImageAlign="Middle" ResizeMode="Fit" />

  
  If the database returns the image I get this error message during the page creation:
  "Cannot set image Url if DataValue is already set"
  
  If I remove the ImageUrl property, the image of the database is shown properly. So it's surely not a corrupted image file.
  I am currently using the following workaround:
  

  <telerik:RadBinaryImage ID="DeviceBinaryImage" runat="server"
    DataValue='<%# Eval("Data") is DBNull ? null : Eval("Data")%> '
    AlternateText=" " AutoAdjustImageControlSize="true"
    Visible='<%# Eval("Data") is DBNull ? false : true %>'
    Width="64px" Height="64px" ImageAlign="Middle" ResizeMode="Fit" />
 <asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" 
        ImageUrl='<%# Eval("Type", "~/Images/Devices/{0}_sml.png") %>' 
    Visible='<%# Eval("Data") is DBNull ? true : false %>' />

  
  Is it possible to set DataValue and the alternative ImageUrl Property of a single RadBinaryImage?
  I would expect the RadBinaryImage to ignore the ImageUrl if DataValue has data.
  
  
  UPDATE
  Forget about the thread.
  Simply swapping the order of ImageUrl and DataValue did the trick. :)

  Hello Timo,
  
  Generally, it is not recommended to set the DataValue and the ImageUrl properties of the RadBinaryImage at the same time.
  In order to implement the desired functionality, I recommend that you handle the ItemDataBound event of the control and set the ImageUrl only if the DataValue is null.
  
  I hope this helps.
