We use the FormView control for display a single record from the data source; there are seven types of Templates in which most of the Templates are optional.

You must create a Template for the mode in which the FormView control is configured. For example, a FormView control that supports updating records must have an EditItemTemplate defined.

Types of Templates:

HeaderTemplate
FooterTemplate
ItemTemplate
InsertItemTemplate
EditItemTemplate
EmptyDataTemplate
PagerTemplate

HeaderTemplate:

Header Template defines the contents which we want to display in the header row of the FormView Control.

FooterTemplate:

Footer Template defines the contents which we want to display in the footer row of the FormView Control.

ItemTemplate:

ItemTemplates defines the contents for the FormView row when it is in read only mode. This template basically used for display the existing data from the data source.

InsertItemTemplate:

InsertItemTemplates defines the contents for the FormView row when it is in insert mode. This template contains the input controls and commands for inserting the new record.

EditItemTemplate:

EditItemTemplates defines the contents for the FormView row when it is in edit mode. This template contains the input controls and commands for editing the existing record.

EmptyDataTemplate:

EmptyDataTemplate basically used for showing the alert to the user if there is no record in the bound column.

PagerTemplate:

PagerTemplate defines the content for the pager row when the "AllowPaging" property is true. It also contains the controls by using that, user can navigate to another record.

Hi,

How to upload and display image thru formview control? I tried lot but its neither giving me error nor displaying image. In Sql database I have stored image with Image field type.

<asp:FormView ID="frmProfile" runat = "server" DataSourceID ="SqlDataSource1">

</tr><tr><td><asp:Image ID="imgProfile" runat ="server" ImageUrl ='<%# Eval("photo")%>' AlternateText ="Not Available" /></td>

</ItemTemplate>

<tr><td><asp:Image ID="imgProfileEdit" Width = "150" Height = "125" ImageUrl ='<%# Eval("photo")%>' runat = "server" AlternateText ="Not Available" /> </td>

</table>

</EditItemTemplate>

</asp:FormView>

<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat ="server" ConnectionString ="<%$ ConnectionStrings:cnnvastu %>" SelectCommand ="LoadData" UpdateCommand ="updateProfile" UpdateCommandType ="StoredProcedure" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure">

my VB code is -

Public Sub frmProfile_DataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles frmProfile.DataBound

Dim row As FormViewRow = frmProfile.Row

Dim rowview As DataRowView = CType(frmProfile.DataItem, DataRowView)

Dim profilePhoto As Image = Nothing

Select Case frmProfile.CurrentMode

Case FormViewMode.ReadOnly

profilePhoto = CType(row.FindControl("imgProfile"), Image)

Case FormViewMode.Edit

profilePhoto = CType(row.FindControl("imgProfileEdit"), Image)

Case Else

End Select

If profilePhoto IsNot Nothing Then

profilePhoto.ToolTip = "Not Available"

End If

End Sub

Let me know why its not working.. its displaying AlternateText every time.
