I am trying to display an image in the datagrid. In the data base the picture location field value is "images/one.jpg"
How do I get the picture to display by using a hyperlink column in the data grid property builder?
I need it to lookup the value from the database picture location field value.
If it can not be done then how do you write it in vb in the code behind the page?

Yes the image file is stored as a path in the database. I'm new to .net so I'm not sure what your mean. I created a hyperlink column with the datagrid property builder. Can I just add a line to the text: or url: textboxes? I also see a button to convert it to a templatecolumn. After I convert it the only textboxes are for the header and footer.
I don't think that property builder wizard is of help in adding TemplateColumns. You will have to add it your self on ASPX page inside DataGrid column... Here is how you will add the template column along with other columns that have been added by the wizard for you.
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateColumn>
<HeaderTemplate>
<b> Image</b>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Image
ImageUrl='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.
runat="server"/>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
</Columns>

How is image field stored in the database. If its simply stored as path to image file then it is easy to use TemplateColumn and there you can use <asp:Image> control to display it.
