Introduction
Here I will explain how insert images into folder and how to bind the images to datalist using asp.net.
Description:
how to save images into folder and how we can bind that images to datalist using asp.net. It’s very easy to store images in folder and binding that images to datalist. For that first create one new website after that right click on that website select New Folder give name as Images because here I am using same name if you want to use another name you need to change the name in code also after completion of adding Imagesfolder to your website Design your aspx page like this
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title>Bind Images to Datalist from folder</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:FileUpload ID="fileupload1" runat="server" />
<asp:Button ID="btnsave" runat="server" Text="Upload" onclick="btnsave_Click" />
</div>
<div>
<asp:DataList ID="dtlist" runat="server" RepeatColumns="4" CellPadding="5">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Image Width="100" ID="Image1" ImageUrl='<%# Bind("Name", "~/Images/{0}") %>' runat="server"/>
<br />
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" Text='<%# Bind("Name") %>' NavigateUrl='<%# Bind("Name", "~/Images/{0}") %>' runat="server"/>
</ItemTemplate>
<ItemStyle BorderColor="Brown" BorderStyle="dotted" BorderWidth="3px" HorizontalAlign="Center"
VerticalAlign="Bottom" />
</asp:DataList>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
After that add using System.IO and using System.Collections namespaces and write the following code in code behind
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
BindDataList();
}
}
protected void BindDataList()
{
DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(MapPath("Images"));
FileInfo[] files = dir.GetFiles();
ArrayList listItems = new ArrayList();
foreach (FileInfo info in files)
{
listItems.Add(info);
}
dtlist.DataSource = listItems;
dtlist.DataBind();
}
protected void btnsave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string filename = Path.GetFileName(fileupload1.PostedFile.FileName);
fileupload1.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("Images/" + filename));
BindDataList();
}
