html image percentage issue

I am unable display an image by percent. No matter what method I try,
I receive the following error.

Input string was not in the correct format.

No matter what method I use, I cannot get this to show up in a percent
format. What am I missing here.

currentStatusImage.Src = "../builds/images/green.gif"
currentStatusImage.Width = "60%"

Thanks.currentStatusImage.Width is expecting a Unit, not a string, so you need to
do a Unit.Parse("60%") or a Unit.Percentage(60).

HTH,

Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/
I get an error stating that unit cannot convert to an integer, on both of
those attempts.

From the documentation:

HtmlImage.Width Property

Gets or sets the width of the image.

Public Property Width As Integer

Property Value

The width of the image.

It does, the sdk also states that you can also set the value as a
percentage. The problem is that it doesn't give an example or any
detail to that.

"By default, the Width property is expressed in pixels, but it can
also be expressed as a percentage of the window size." - straight from
the windows sdk, and that's all it has to say about it. But how??

It seems you've found a documentation error.

An integer is an integer, not a Unit. You can't use percentage in an
HtmlImage.

Any ideas on how to get around this. In addition to this being an issue,
when I attempt to do the following ( going back to my asp classic way of
thinking ) :

<img border="0" id="currentStatusImage" src="http://pics.10026.com/?src=<% = srcInfo %> width="<% =
widthInfo %>%" height="6" runat="server"
I still get the integer error. I'd rather not make this a static image but,
the list of ideas grows smaller. Thanks.

You're still getting the error because you've still got the control marked
as runat="server", which means it's an HtmlImage, which means that the Width
property is an integer.

Do you really need the image to be a server control?

And why not use style="WIDTH:100%" :

currentStatusImage.Style["WIDTH"] = "100%"
