Conditional Display of ASP:IMAGE in GridTemplateColumn

[Stephen]

Hi,

How do I conditionally set the imageurl property of an ASP:IMAGE control in a GridTemplateColumn?

I can clear the controls to remove the image completely, but am unsure how to cast the Controls(0) collection to get an ASP:IMAGE object? I have tried casting to Image, but this obviously isnt an ASP:IMAGE type, but something from Graphics.


I can do conditional formatting like this, but want to do it programatically as I may want to plug in different images:

<

rad:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="ButtonColumn">

<ItemTemplate>

<asp:Image runat="server" ImageUrl='<%# IIF(TypeOf Eval("SDC_A") Is System.DBNull, "~/Images/warning.gif","~/Images/tick.gif") %>' Width="10" Height="10"/>

</ItemTemplate>

</rad:GridTemplateColumn>

Protected

Sub grdStudyMilestones_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.WebControls.GridItemEventArgs) Handles grdStudyMilestones.ItemDataBound

'Is it a GridDataItem

If (TypeOf (e.Item) Is GridDataItem) Then

'Get the instance of the right type

Dim dataBoundItem As GridDataItem = e.Item

'Check the formatting condition

If IsDate(dataBoundItem("SDC_A").Text) Then

dataBoundItem(

"SDC").BackColor = Color.Gray

Else

' NEED TO ACCESS THE CONTROL SPECIFICALLY
dataBoundItem(

"ButtonColumn").Controls.Clear()

End If

End If

End Sub

Hi,

Thanks.  I have worked through this sample, but dont need a button, so was trying to do this with a GridTemplateColumn and an ASP Image.  I dont want to use a button as there is no action to be performed.

Any help appreciated.

Hello Stephen,

    As I understand, you want to display different images for your TemplateColumn based on certain conditions.
aspx:

  <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="DataType" UniqueName="DataType" HeaderText="DataType">
 </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
 <telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="TemplateColumn1">
    <ItemTemplate>
       <asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" />
    </ItemTemplate>
 </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

cs:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
    {

        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            Image img = (Image)item["TemplateColumn1"].FindControl("Image1");
            if (item["DataType"].Text == "String")
            {
                img.ImageUrl = "~/images/Delete.gif";
            }
            else
            {
                img.ImageUrl = "~/images/New Bitmap Image.bmp";
            }
        }

Thanks
Princy.

Hi,

Thats exactly what i want to do thanks.  When I tried casting to Image, using the Controls(0) syntax I first tried, it seemed as though I was trying to cast to a class in the System.Graphics namespace...
