Hi Can you try without using Server.MapPath ? Using '~' in the beginning.

ImageItem.ImageUrl = "~/IMAGES/Test.ico";

Is the location of the image is outside your website?

no the images are in the same root ... in one folder named "images"

if possible can you list some results (paths) assigning to
prod.ProductImage property when you are debugging.

if i change the return value to string i will get the path value.. "G:\root\Images\634456168350187500s.JPG" but i need to convert this path to an image or i should get the image from folder using this path

friend i got it..... i will share with you...

i changed private Image _ProductImage;
public Image ProductImage
{
get { return _ProductImage; }
set { _ProductImage = value; }

}
private string_ProductImage;
public string ProductImage
{
get { return _ProductImage; }
set { _ProductImage = value; }

}

and created a

private void showimage(string imagepath)
{
imagecontrol.ImageUrl = "~/foldername/" + imagepath +"";
}

and called this
prod.ProductImage = sdr["PImagePath"].ToString();
showimage(prod.productImage);
