<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head>
    <title>Image Example</title>
</head>
 
<body>

   <form id="form1" runat="server">

      <h3>Image Example</h3>

      <asp:Image id="Image1" runat="server"
           AlternateText="Image text"
           ImageAlign="left"
           ImageUrl="images/image1.jpg"/>
  
   </form>

</body>
</html>

Remarks

Use this property to specify the text to display if the image specified in the ImageUrl property is not available. In browsers that support the ToolTips feature, this text also displays as a ToolTip.

The value of this property, when set, can be saved automatically to a resource file by using a designer tool. For more information, see LocalizableAttribute and ASP.NET Globalization and Localization.
