Image in dropdown (using sample)

[Michael]

What am I missing?

here is my aspx code:

<radC:RadComboBox ID="cboImages" runat="server" Width="150px" DataSourceID="sdsMediaLibrary" SkinsPath="~/RadControls/ComboBox/Skins">
<itemtemplate>
<div>
<img src='../<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "Attributes['ImagePath']") %>' alt="" />
</div>
</itemtemplate>
</radC:RadComboBox>

My Code Behind in the ItemDataBound Event:

Dim item As RadComboBoxItem = CType(e.Item, RadComboBoxItem)
Dim row As DataRowView = CType(e.Item.DataItem, DataRowView)
item.Attributes("ImagePath") = row("ThumbUrl")

I checked the ItemDataBound Event and a value is being passed for "ThumbUrl", but when it renders I get:
<div>
       <img src='../' alt="" />
</div>
 and of course the big red X for the image in the dropdown

I have been pouring over the sample code and mine and I just can't seem to figure out what I am missing.

Thanks

Hi Michael,

You need to use Container.DataItem since you are in databound mode:

<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Attributes['ImagePath']") %>

You can check this help article for more information:
DataBinding expressions

I hope this helps.

I changed it to:
<img src='../<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Attributes['ImagePath']") %>' alt="" />

Now I get the error:
DataBinding: 'System.Data.DataRowView' does not contain a property with the name 'Attributes'

nevermind,
I didn't need the 'Attibutes" at all.
So much to learn...
