ASP.NET in a Nutshell

Synopsis

This class represents an Image control on a Web Forms page, which is used to display any supported graphic (including .jpg, .bmp, .gif, and .png files). To specify the picture that should appear in this control, set a URL to the file by using the ImageUrl property. You can specify a string of AlternateText, which will be displayed in browsers that do not support graphics or if the picture file is not available. You can also set a Font for the alternate text. Many browsers also show this text as a tooltip when the user positions the mouse over the image.

An Image control cannot capture mouse clicks. To respond to image click events, use the ImageButton control instead.
