the path is dynamic. so i want to give image path using c#. the path change based on user selection

Sajith Dilhan 4-Mar-15 3:51am

then you have to bind the path in page load event dynamically.
get the path into a variable based on the user selection.
then bind to image
<img src="<%=yourpath%>/Images/imgxx.png" />
