CommandField.EditImageUrl Property

.NET Framework 4.5

Gets or sets the URL to an image to display for an Edit button in a CommandField field.

Namespace: System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)

public virtual string EditImageUrl { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: System.String
The URL to an image to display for an Edit button in a CommandField. The default is an empty string (""), which indicates that this property is not set.

Remarks

When the ButtonType property of a CommandField field is set to ButtonType.Image, use the EditImageUrl property to specify the image to display for an Edit button. This image can be in any file format (.jpg, .gif, .bmp, and so on), as long as the client's browser supports that format.

Note
As an alternative to displaying an image for an Edit button, you can display text by first setting the ButtonType property to ButtonType.Button or ButtonType.Link and then setting the EditText property.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the EditImageUrl property to specify a custom image to display for an Edit button in a CommandField field of a GridView control. The ButtonType property must be set to ButtonType.Image for an Edit button to display an image.
