System.Web.UI.WebControls Namespace   GridView Class

---

.NET Framework version 2.0

Sets or retrieves the URL of an image to display in the background of the GridView control.

Inline	<control backimageurl = strUrl ... >
Script	GridView.BackImageUrl = strUrl

strUrl

String specifying the URL of an image to display in the background of the GridView control.

The property is read/write with no default value.

Use the BackImageUrl property to specify an image to display in the background of the GridView control.

NOTE: If the specified image is smaller than the GridView control, the image will tile to fill in the background of the control.

The following example demonstrates how to set the BackImageUrl property at design time to specify a background image for the GridView control.

<asp:gridview id = "myGrid" runat = "server"
   ...
   backimageurl = "~/shared/back.gif"
   forecolor = "beige" font-bold />
