Determine if CMSEditableImage control has an image

I am using aspx pages and trying to determine if a CMSEditableImage control has an image attached to it. If it doesn't I want to hide some elements on the page.

What is the best approach to this? I don't want to use javascript on the front-end but if there is not a good solution on the backend, I suppose I will have to resort to that.

Afterwards you should be able to access all it's properties, including the path. Best regards, Boris Pocatko

RE:Determine if CMSEditableImage control has an image

Hello,

Regrettably, I am not able to post an explicit example because your controls hierarchy is different from mine. For example the following code could work to get the control:

this.Parent.FindControl("id");

or

this.Parent.Parent.FindControl("id");

...etc, it depends on the specific controls hierarchy build in your solution, which is build dynamically.

Best regards,

RE:Determine if CMSEditableImage control has an image

Hello,

I am not sure what example do you need. As I said, you need to get the control by the ID with the FindControl() method. If have obtained the control, you can use the line of code below to get the URL of the image:

string s = ((System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image)c.Controls[0]).ImageUrl;
