Using ImageButtons in a Datalist as thumbnails, how do I get the url of the image to pass to an open window function?

Hello, I am using a Datalist to display images from a database.  I am using ImageButton's to do this.  What I want is when the dynamically created images are displayed the user can click them to open a window with the full size version of the pic.  Does this make sense?  

I really want to handle this from the code-behind because i like it that way, but whatever works.  Can someone please provide some sample code to facilitate this?  Everything I find on the net so far has been, well hard to understand.  I thought this would be a simple thing when I started... actually I hope it still is.  

Sorry if I am not asking well, but that is how lost I am at this point!

Hi,

I had given you three sample pages go thru the aspx page and codebehind

Thanks for that code, I am sure it works, and I will use it if necessary.  But I still thought there would be an easier way.  I suppose this code will resize the pics to thumbnail size to save bandwidth on page load however I was hoping for an alternative using my datalist.  Is there an easier way?  Like I said, I will try this sample code tonight and ultimately use it if necessary, so thank you for this.
