I have an object of type System.Drawing.Image and would like to display this image in a view. What would be the best way to do this?
I have found some custom Html Helper methods that might fit the situation. Also found an example that uses a new action method that returns a FileContentResult
in order to pull something like this off. I would like to know what technique is best and easiest to implement.
EDIT
To be more specific, I have the image in a System.Drawing.Image variable in the Controller that I want to display in the view.
public ActionResult GetImg()
{
string imageFile = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.
Server.MapPath("~/Content/tempimg/unicorn.jpg");
var srcImage = Image.FromFile(imageFile);
using (var streak = new MemoryStream())
{
srcImage.Save(streak, ImageFormat.Png);
return File(streak.ToArray(), "image/png");
}
}
Now you can call it in a view like this
<img src="@Url.Action("GetImg","YourControllerName")" alt="alt text"/>
