How to show image dynamically in ASP.NET literal Control

Question

The following code does not work:

literalNews.Text = "<img id='Image3' src='~/images/news_li.gif' alt=' ' height='20' width='20' />";

Bind an image tag inside the literal <a id='img' src='[path]'></a>. Thats it! — Suprabhat Biswal

What you have won't work as '~/images/etc needs to have the path resolved. — Jon P

what Jon P means is that you could try to remove the '~' from '~/images/news_li.gif' — avi

Assuming that your context is a page you need to resolve ~/ as it is a .net construct, it enables code to be used at different levels of a website.

Try

string src = Page.ResolveUrl("~/images/news_li.gif"); 
literalNews.Text = string.Format("<img id='Image3' src='{0}' alt=' ' height='20' width='20' />", src);

Your other option is to use a root relative path

literalNews.Text = "<img id='Image3' src='/images/news_li.gif' alt=' ' height='20' width='20' />";
