GridView hyperlink image done another way?

Is there a another way of adding a hyperlinked image to a GridView:

<asp:GridView runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("HttpUri")%>' runat="server">
<asp:image imageurl='<%# Eval("ImageUri")%>' runat="server" />
</asp:HyperLink>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>

Thanks, do you know whether these are the only 2 ways of doing this. In other words, do I have to use the TemplateField / ItemTemplate controls to achieve this?

I tried without the template field, but cannot get the image to display when it loads, instead it provides a link to the image. How do I get the image to display as soon as the control is loaded?

<asp:HyperLinkField DataNavigateUrlFields="ImageUri" DataTextField="LabName" NavigateUrl="HttpUri" />
