/>

Remarks

Use the Image control to display an image on the Web Forms page. Setting the ImageUrl property specifies the path to the displayed image. You can specify the text to display in place of the image when the image is not available by setting the AlternateText property. The ImageAlign property specifies the alignment of the image in relation to other elements on the Web Forms page.

NoteNote

This control only displays an image. If you want the image to behave like a button or need to determine the coordinates where the mouse pointer is clicked on the image, use the ImageButton control.
NoteNote

Because the <asp:Image> element has no content, you can close the tag with /> instead of using a separate closing tag.

For detailed information on the Image Web server control's properties and events, see the Image documentation.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to create an Image control on a Web page.

NoteNote

The following code sample uses the single-file code model and may not work correctly if copied directly into a code-behind file. This code sample must be copied into an empty text file that has an .aspx extension. For more information on the Web Forms code model, see ASP.NET Web Page Code Model.
