Use a System.Drawing.Image in an HTML tag

Question

I have a potentially easy question. I have an image stored in a database, I then used a C# method in my application that gets that image and stores it in a custom class tha

Answer 1

If you have to store your images in the database, a simple way to view them would be to use an image handler.

Basically, you can create an ASHX handler which accepts a query string that is the Image ID in the database and returns the image content along with the correct mime type. This is quite simple to do in C#.

You can then point the tag to the handler with the specified ID. Something like

table += String.Format("", ind.myImageId);

Here is a basic tutorial to get you started.

A common performance improvement would be to cache the images on disk within the handler.
