    copied!<p>I've searched for this, but maybe I'm using the wrong keywords.</p> <p>I have a DataList containing an ImageButton whose ImageUrl property I want to set by combining it with a string returned from a codebehind file property and a database value.</p> <p>I have a protected property in my codebehind called <code>strPath</code>.</p> <p>I want to combine it with a database value in my aspx file. Like so:</p> <pre><code>... ImgUrl = '&lt;%#strPath+ Bind("senderPic")%&gt;' ... </code></pre> <p>But this doesn't work. How can I do this?</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>HEre's the entire code for the DataList as asked. (The problem is in the <code>ibtnUser</code> element.</p> <pre><code>&lt;asp:DataList ID="dtlstScraps" runat="server" CellSpacing="4" onitemcommand="dtlstScraps_ItemCommand" onitemdatabound="dtlstScraps_ItemDataBound"&gt; &lt;ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;table class="style26"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;asp:Panel ID="pnlHeader" runat="server" BackImageUrl="~/Images/scraphead.gif" Height="50px" Width="640px"&gt; &lt;table class="style27"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class="style28"&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="style29"&gt; **&lt;asp:ImageButton ID="ibtnUser" ImageUrl='&lt;%# strPath + DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "senderPic") %&gt;' CommandName ="ImageClick" runat="server" Height="35px" Width="35px" /&gt;** &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="style34"&gt; &lt;asp:LinkButton ID="lbtnUser" Text='&lt;%#Bind("senderName")%&gt;' CommandName="LinkClick" runat="server"&gt;User Page&lt;/asp:LinkButton&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="style35"&gt; &lt;asp:Label ID="lblTimeStamp" Text='&lt;%#Bind("timestamp")%&gt;' runat="server" &gt;&lt;/asp:Label&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="style33"&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/asp:Panel&gt; &lt;asp:Panel ID="Panel2" runat="server" Height="60px"&gt; &lt;asp:Label ID="lblMsg" runat="server" BackColor="#C9C9C9" BorderColor="#020246" BorderStyle="Solid" Height="50px" Text='&lt;%# Bind("message") %&gt;' Width="631px"&gt;&lt;/asp:Label&gt; &lt;/asp:Panel&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;/asp:DataList&gt; </code></pre>
