Newbie Question - Data Binding C#

Hi all this is my first post here as im new to ASP.Net & C# I have decided to take this up as a new language as i have been writting in vb6 for about three years but now want to learn some web based code, Anyway question is, I have created a page that gets data for selected customers and date from my SQL server that all works fine , however i would like to add the customers name and poss an image to the top section of the web page, i was thinking of using a label for the customer name but after trying to get the data to the label i have no hair left (possibly missing something stupid) here is the code i have so far .. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %> <%@ import Namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" %> <%@ Page Language="C#" Debug="true" %> Despatch Status

Ok i solved the problem by adding in Line 12 (lbCustomer.Text) in the section below this works ok .. Now to try to sort out how to call the image.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ void ItemDataBoundEventHandler(object sender, DataGridItemEventArgs e) { if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem) { String Despatched = Convert.ToString(DataBinder.Eval(e.Item.DataItem, "Despatched")); if (Despatched =="True") e.Item.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green; lbCustomer.Text = Convert.ToString(DataBinder.Eval(e.Item.DataItem, "CustomerName")); } }
