Displaying Images in a GridView Column

Question

I am referencing this: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/5089e0/show-image-in-gridview-using-Asp-Net/ But I want to load an image from a folder and store the entire image and image name in the database. Then to display it in a gridview I don't want to reference a file folder path. I only want to get the image and name from the database and not reference a file folder path. So how do I do that?

Thanks that worked. However I am also uploading vidoes (.mpg) files. I can retrieve them from the database as shown. In the gridview how can I get the video picture to show and subsequently allow me to click on and run the video? The .mpg are set to default to the Windows media player. In my folder it shows a picture and plays just fine from the file folder when I double-click it.

Hi Yes you can do first get the image name from your database and pass only image name from cs page to html page in image tag in gridview and hardcode the folder path and bind the image name. means string.Format(/Images/{0} : is the folder path and then image name from you database.
