Using Label within an SRC to show an image

I have a Label which gets from my database the data "1_1" this is the file name of an image I would like to show relative to the ID.

my image link is

<img src="Images/Dropox/.jpg"/>

with no file name

I would like to know how to add a label that on load will be populated with the string "1_1" and then for that string to go into my SRC link.

I have tried adding the label into the space required but that doesn't work.

my idea would be something along the lines of 

  <img src="Images/Dropox/<asp:Label ID="ImageSequencea" runat="server">.jpg"/></asp:Label>

or something like that. can anyone help?

thanks!

Try this,

<img src="Images/Dropox/<%#Eval("ReturnEntityName")%>.jpg"/></asp:Label>

Label corresponds to the <span>. Which means that when ASP.NET engine finds a Label on the page, it takes its Text, wraps into <span>, and sends to the output. Most likely you are not looking for:

<img src="Images/Dropox/<span>1_1</span>.jpg"/>

If you just need url to be Images/Dropox/1_1.jpg with 1_1 being inserted at runtime, you can:

  1. Just turn your img tag into server tag and set its value in code behind:

    <img id="DropboxImage" runat="server" />

  2. Use scriplet and call function from code behind

    <img src="Images/Dropox/<%= GetImageName() %>.jpg"/>

  3. User asp:Image and set its ImageUrl property in code behind:

    <asp:Image runat="server" ID="DropboxImage" />
