declaring item on itemdatabound event for datalist

Protected Sub DataList1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataListItemEventArgs)
        If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Then
            Dim apply As Image = CType(e.Item.FindControl("image7"), Image)
            If drv("GROUPING") = "LT10" Then
                apply.ImageUrl = "~/lt/lt10.jpg"
            ElseIf drv("GROUPING") = "LT15" Then
                apply.ImageUrl = "~/lt/lt15.jpg"
            ElseIf drv("GROUPING") = "LT28" Then
                apply.ImageUrl = "~/lt/lt28.jpg"
            ElseIf drv("GROUPING") = "LT40" Then
                apply.ImageUrl = "~/lt/lt40.jpg"
            ElseIf drv("GROUPING") = "LT50" Then
                apply.ImageUrl = "~/lt/lt50.jpg"
            ElseIf drv("GROUPING") = "LT70" Then
                apply.ImageUrl = "~/lt/lt70.jpg"
            End If
        End If
    End Sub

so i dont have to declare   "dvr"  ???  
grouping is the name of my column in my database?

im getting an error that drv is not declared

Sorry.
Is "GROUPING" a label in DataList?

no...grouping  is a column in my database

so if grouping = ""  then  i want an image to show
etc

my db  querry looks like this
select grouping, picture  from table

I used the same concept in view grid and this how i declared it
 Dim drv As System.Data.DataRowView = DirectCast(e.Row.DataItem, Data.DataRowView)

how do you declare in datalist?

In another word, do you display Grouping in DataList?

Grouping has 8 options in my database

that is why i  do this

       If drv("GROUPING") = "LT10" Then
               apply.ImageUrl = "~/lt/lt10.jpg"
           ElseIf drv("GROUPING") = "LT15" Then
               apply.ImageUrl = "~/lt/lt15.jpg"
           ElseIf drv("GROUPING") = "LT28" Then
               apply.ImageUrl = "~/lt/lt28.jpg"
           ElseIf drv("GROUPING") = "LT40" Then
               apply.ImageUrl = "~/lt/lt40.jpg"
           ElseIf drv("GROUPING") = "LT50" Then
               apply.ImageUrl = "~/lt/lt50.jpg"
           ElseIf drv("GROUPING") = "LT70" Then
               apply.ImageUrl = "~/lt/lt70.jpg"
           End If

>>>Grouping has 8 options in my database

I understand. My question is do you display this Grouping in your DataList, such as using Label?

Yes  in my label8

Try this. (You may also want to change If..ElseIf...ElseIf...Endif to Select Case statement, it is more readable)

Protected Sub DataList1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataListItemEventArgs)
       If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Then
           Dim apply As Image = CType(e.Item.FindControl("image7"), Image)
           Dim lbl As Label = CType(e.Item.FindControl("label8"), Label)
           If lbl.Text.Trim() = "LT10" Then
               apply.ImageUrl = "~/lt/lt10.jpg"
           ElseIf lbl.Text.Trim() = "LT15" Then
               apply.ImageUrl = "~/lt/lt15.jpg"
           ElseIf lbl.Text.Trim() = "LT28" Then
               apply.ImageUrl = "~/lt/lt28.jpg"
           ElseIf lbl.Text.Trim() = "LT40" Then
               apply.ImageUrl = "~/lt/lt40.jpg"
           ElseIf lbl.Text.Trim() = "LT50" Then
               apply.ImageUrl = "~/lt/lt50.jpg"
           ElseIf lbl.Text.Trim() = "LT70" Then
               apply.ImageUrl = "~/lt/lt70.jpg"
           End If
       End If
   End Sub

Select allOpen in new window

I did this.  I fopund an issue.  everyother item is not showing the image.  i know there is an image for each group and misteriusly it does not show every other one. .  
can you review code ?

  Protected Sub DataList1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataListItemEventArgs)
        If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Then
            Dim apply As Image = CType(e.Item.FindControl("image7"), Image)
            Dim lbl As Label = CType(e.Item.FindControl("label1"), Label)
            Select lbl.Text
                Case "LT10"
                    apply.ImageUrl = "~/lt/lt10.jpg"

                Case "LT15"
                    apply.ImageUrl = "~/lt/lt15.jpg"
                   
                Case "LT28"
                    apply.ImageUrl = "~/lt/lt28.jpg"
                   
                Case "LT40"
                    apply.ImageUrl = "~/lt/lt40.jpg"
                   
                Case "LT50"
                    apply.ImageUrl = "~/lt/lt50.jpg"
                   
                Case "LT70"
                    apply.ImageUrl = "~/lt/lt70.jpg"
           
            End Select
                       
        End If
    End Sub
