I ran across the need to have a linkbutton that contained an image and text. A little background... I was creating a file structure-like list in a repeater control. Each row had to be clickable by the folder name or folder icon; just like in Windows Explorer.
By default, the linkbutton has a Text property but this was of no help for trying to also squeeze in an image too. But did you know you could do this with a linkbutton:
<asp:LinkButton ID="lbYear" runat="server" CausesValidation="false">
<asp:Image ID="imgFolder"
runat="server"
ImageUrl="~/images/folder.jpg"
/>
<%#
Container.DataItem %>
</asp:LinkButton>
Here you see the LinkButton control acts like a template for the image control and text it needed to display.
Seriously, I know this isn't rocket science but it took me a few minutes to think about how this works because how often do you do this with the linkbutton control? Enjoy!
