asp:Image control showing empty placeholder when ImageUrl = string.Empty

Question

I have an <asp:Image> control on my .aspx page. I have a function which programatically removes the image from the control by setting: myImage.ImageUrl = string.Empty . Problem is, after this procedure I am left with an empty placeholder:

How can I get rid of that placeholder?

Answer 1

To hide a control, set the property Visibile to false . This causes it not not be rendered at all, removing the tag completely from the resulting HTML.
