Immediate Solutions: Using the Image Class

As discussed in the In Depth section, you use Image controls to display an image in a Web page. Here's the inheritance hierarchy for this class:

Object
   Control
      WebControl
         Image

You can find the notable public properties of Image objects in Table 17.1 (this class has no non-inherited methods or events). Note that as with other Web server controls, I am not listing the notable properties, methods, and events this class inherits from the Control and WebControl classes—you can find them in Tables 15.1 to 15.5, Chapter 15.

Table 17.1: Noteworthy public properties of *Image* objects.
Property	Means
AlternateText	Gets/sets the text to display in an Image control when the image is not available. Note also that in browsers that display tool tips, this text will become the tool tip text.
Font	Gets/sets the alternate text's font.
ImageAlign	Gets/sets the image alignment of the Image control (as set with regard to other HTML elements in the Web page).
ImageUrl	Gets/sets the URL of the image you want to display.
