Showing File Type Icon in Data View on Sharepoint !

[Kevin]

Hi,

I am displaying a Sharepoint Services 2.0 Document Library in a Data View
Grid. One of the columns on the Library is "FileType" (ie. doc, xls, etc.).
Instead of displaying the text of the FileType, I would like to display an
Image corresponding to "FileType".

In sharepoint, the system uses DOCICON.XML to lookup and display an image
corresponding to "FileType" value. The content of DOCICON.XML is in the
format of: "<Mapping Key="doc" Value="icdoc.gif">"... I also know which
directory the icdoc.gif file is on the server.... How do I convert this
knowledge to a URL that I can display in Frontpage using Image / Hyperlink
information?

Thanks
