Standalone RadBinaryImage

[Scott]

I need to display an image based on a PK ID on a form.  All of the demos/example code seems to utilize an image within a grid (or other data-related item).  Is there any possibility of using a RadBinaryImage as a standalone control?

Thanks!

...or is it possible to set the DataValue in a JScript function?

Something along the lines of:

 

showImg: function (byt)
{
    var img = $get('radImg');

    if (byt)
    {
        img.DataValue = byt;
    }
}

Hi Scott,

Indeed RadBinaryImage is a stand-alone control and can be used as such. You just need feed the binary data into the DataValue property. Unfortunately you can do this only server-side. 

Best wishes,

To set the RadBinaryImage in the server-side, all you need to do is pass the image bytes to the DataValue property and then call DataBind() on the RadBinaryImage control to get it to display the image.

I hope that helps.

Thank you for the replies.  I was able to achieve my goal using an ASP Image control and an HttpHandler.

Hi:

What about a FormView control as follows:

<asp:FormView
    id="mImageFormView" runat="server"
    DataSourceID="mImageDataSource" >
    <ItemTemplate>
        <telerik:RadBinaryImage ID="rbiThumbnail" runat="server" Width="180px" Height="220px"
            DataValue='<%# Eval("Thumbnail") %>' AlternateText='No image'
            />
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:FormView>
