Building a website with 571 houses, each house has a image associated with it. I want to set a virtual path in the database to a folder containing 571 images. There is 571 rows in the database with a few columns one of them being image I want to set the path in this column and then retrieve the image for each house on the aspx page.

I think I display the image like this

<asp:Image ID="img1" runat="server"
    ImageUrl='<%#Eval("path") %>'>
</asp:Image>

but I am not to sure how to set the path to the folder in the database.

You can use String.Format for this as detailed below

ImageUrl='<%# String.Format("~/YOUR_IMAGE_FOLDER/{0}", Eval("path"))%>'

Just replace your ImageUrl as above.

the folder is stored on a drive not in the project
You can give virtual path or web path for that folder
