function to look at a dataset and then create a link and image based on the data selected
Tags: vb.net c#
I have a dataset that I am filling from a search term(s). What I need to do is create a function to look at the source and from that source populate different images that link to a different page. I'm close to having this thing working with one problem. The first "source" the dataset sees is the only one being displayed. It keeps that particular image and link string. How can I get it to show the different images? Is some sort of loop needed?

Here is the code

You would need to do this prior to the page being rendered or utilise AJAX to achieve what you want, or post back to the page to get it to re-render.

How can I find the source prior to the page rendering if the dataset isn't filled until the button event is fired?
 
05.12.2008 at 09:57AM PDT, ID: 21548606
I figured it out. I had to create 2 columns, loop through them and assign a value based on the source
Example:

 dt.Columns.Add("image")
 dt.Columns.Add("link")

 For n As Integer = 0 To dt.Rows.Count - 1
            Dim source As String = dt.Rows.Item(n)("source").ToString()
            If source = "something1" Then
                dt.Rows(n)("image") = "image1"
               dt.Rows(n)("link") = "link1"
 ElseIf source = "something2 Then
                dt.Rows(n)("image") = "image2"
                dt.Rows(n)("link") = "link2"
