You will have to do something like this for the loading of the image.  There maybe a better way but I dunno how yet.

If ImageValFromDB.StartsWith("FileID=") Then

Dim _FileCont As New DotNetNuke.Services.FileSystem.FileController

Dim _FileInfo As DotNetNuke.Services.FileSystem.FileInfo

Dim _Id As Integer = CInt(Strings.Replace(ImageValFromDB, "FileID=", ""))

_FileInfo = _FileCont.GetFileById(_Id, Me.PortalId)

imgImage.ImageUrl = DotNetNuke.Common.ResolveUrl(Me.PortalSettings.HomeDirectory & _FileInfo.Folder & _FileInfo.FileName)

Else

imgImage.ImageUrl = ImageValFromDB

End If

If ImageValFromDB is empty, just set the visibility to false of the image control.  Hope this helps.

Well no.  As i see it dnn stores the file id in the db for images that are from the url control.  Thats what the if is checking for in the main part.  It checks to see if its a reference with an id number and looks up the real path.  Hopefully that clears this up.
