Not easy to show images in RadGrid

[HsuKang]

I found that I could simply add a ImageField to show images in GridView, but can I do that as simply in RadGrid?  If not, could Telerik change this situation in the future version of RadGid?  Thanks a lot.

Hi,

I think Template column will give you the power to customize the image displaying in radgrid.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Photo" UniqueName="TemplateColumn" >
                                    <ItemTemplate>
                                        <asp:Image ID="ProductImage" runat="server" Width="100%" ImageUrl='<%# (Eval("Name") is System.DBNull)? "Img/ImageNotAvailable.gif" : "Img/" + Eval("Name") %>'
                                            AlternateText="No preview available" />
                                    </ItemTemplate>
                                </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Thanks
Shinu.

Hi Shinu,

     Thank you for your response.  Maybe your suggestion will wok perfectly, yet you are supposed to admit that it is really harder to show images in RadGrid than GridView.  What a shame!
