sorry for asking this as im sure you heard it all before, but im real used to creating pages with old asp, where i used "islands of code" which wrote html and any info contained in a DB out as a string, which was recognised by the browser and desplayed as a web page. now with asp.net im stumped. ive tried to follow tutorials but i dont know how to addata contained in a DB to a web page.eg..i have paths to pictures in a database. i want to display theese pics on my web page, but i dont know how to . can anyone just show me the code to do this, or point me to a good tutorial ( not a microsoft tutorial). thank you all...
 
Hopefuly you're able to get a DataReader going:

Loop your dr with something like this...

'option 1 using an html image tag
While dr.Read
<img src=" & Convert.toString(dr.("myfieldWithImagePath")) & " />"
end while

'Option 2 using an ASP Image control
While dr.Read
dim img as new webcontrols.Image
me.controls.add(img)
img.ImageUrl = Convert.toString(dr.("myfieldWithImagePath"))
end while
