VB.NET将代码后面的变量插入到aspx img src中

Question

I'm trying to use a variable from my code behind as the src for an image. Here is what I have, but it isn't working.

In my code behind at class level I have:

Dim maxImage As String = HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString("imgpath") 

And in the aspx:

<img src="<%# maxImage %>" alt="mylisting" height="275" width="275">

If I just stick the value for maxImage in there the picture shows up, so for some reason the maxImage variable isn't getting inserted? I'm guessing my syntax is screwed up somehow and someone with more experience will be able to spot it right away.

When I "inspect element" in Chrome I get this:

<img src="" alt="mylisting" height="275" width="275">

Thanks!

Answer 1

Try replacing src="<%# maxImage %>" with src="<%= maxImage %>"

Also make sure following line returns image path in correct format-

Dim maxImage As String = HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString("imgpath") 
// maxImage should be in format "../imagename.jpg"
