How to Show Uploaded Images in Grid View?


Description
In my previous article http://www.dotnetspider.com/resources/42953-How-show-uploaded-images-Grid-view.aspx I have explained about how to store images in SQL SERVER table image field and display in the Grid view. Now in this article I have store image in the server path and store Path URL in the database table. This one is fast compare to storing image bytes in database. After bind if we need edit description or image using edit operation. In this example code I have retrieve image URL previously stored in SQL server table and get image from the server path "Uploaded folder".
