asp.net webcontrols : Welcome to Gridview Hell

Ok I am working on the simplest thing ever that is turning in to the
biggest train wreck ever.

I have a database with a series of photo albums and the image path &
name for each image. I pass the info to the gridview via the Query
string. The thumbnails load with no problems as long as I use the
ASP:Images control

I tried to use the imagebutton but I could not dynamically set the
image property

My problem comes when I want to run a process when the user clicks on
the image in the gridview.

When the image is clicked I need to make a trip to the DB to get the
detail for the image and load the non thumbnail image., Caption and
story behind the image…


In 2003 I was able to reference invisible items in the grid. Did they
change that in 2005 or am I smoking crack and not sharing again.

For every image I have an ID, ImageName , Caption and Story. Now I
just need to be able to make a call by what ever means necessary to
pull the data back and populate the detail portion of the page,

THe image property in an ImageButton control is called ImageUrl and is a
string that represents the value src atribute of the resulting <input
type="image> tag. you can set this programatically.
