show image

[mjd3000]

I have images in my database that are stored as bytes, and I want to show them on screen on my webpage. I can do this with the code below :

Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";

System.Drawing.Image image = retrieveImage(strEncodedImage);
image.Save(Response.OutputStream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);

But this always clears what is on the rest of the webpage. How can I do this whilst keeping the rest of the page intact?

1) Put this code in a seperate aspx file, and have your main page point the images source to the new aspx file, that way the output is written just to the image container on the page.

use a generic handler (ashx) to process the image, there is not need for a Page life cycle. then you can point the image in the source as if it was a file.

<img src="getimagefromdatabase.ashx?id=<%=the id%>" />
