    Re: insert Image into my XML

    There are lots of ways you can add images. YOu can add an image reference tag if the image is already hosted somewhere. You can serialise the image and then de-serialise it on the client end.

    Actually, there are two ways you can add images. (that I know how to do).

    Re: insert Image into my XML

    It's quite impossible to give you a definete answer with what little information you have provided.

    You say you apply it into asp.net ?

    So presumably you are using a webbrowser to view the quiz ?

    Webbrowsers mostoften relies on something called html to render text and images, with an image referenced in the html code like this <img src="url"/>

    So probably you have some asp.net code that translates your XML into HTML.

    But without any info on how this translation is done, it's quite impossible to help you.

    what will you do then?
    What I want is instead of giving a plain text as answer, maybe i will like to put an image as answer.

    Is there any better way to do?

    Re: insert Image into my XML

    Well I'am not an ASP kind of guy, So I can't really help you much execpt to note that the your ASP code does not support embedding images into the XML.

    I'am guessing this line
    Code:
    rblAnswer.Items.Add(new ListItem(xNodeList.Item(i).InnerText, i+1))
    populates the answer options list, InnerText means just that, text. To create an image, you would either have to copy an img node from the XML (Not really sure this would work) or create an img html element in ASP, I have no clue how to do either in ASP.

    Re: insert Image into my XML

    I found my solution. Just add this line of code when you want to insert an image or anything
    <![ CDATA [ what you want to insert put here]]>
