You could try something like this:

<asp:Image ID="Image1" Width="75%" Height="75%" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%# (Eval("Photo") ?? "path/to/default/image.jpg") %>'  />

Hope it helps.

I have given path of default Image but not working .

path/to/default/image.jpg" this is a static path or I have to create another column for default image in table

it's a static path. have a look at the source in your browser and see if the static path is being rendered correctly.

You can use it as

<asp:Image ID="Image1" Width="75%"  Height="75%" runat="server"   ImageUrl='<%# SetPhoto(Eval("Photo"))  %>'  />

C#

public string SetPhoto(string actualUrl)
{
    if(actualUrl != "")
         return actualUrl;
    else
        return @"~/Images/defaul.png";
}

hi,
find a default image you want to show, place it under your web site roor, lets say your default image name is default.jpg, now use this code below in your page

<asp:Image ID="Image1" Width="75%" Height="75%" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%# (String.IsNullOrEmpty(Eval("Photo").ToString()) ? Eval("Photo"):"~/default.jpg") %>'  />

Thats it..

Solution 4

You can modify your query and result null column value to default image.

Select isnull(imageColumn, 'default.jpg') from ImageTable
