I believe you will need to save the image to a disk file, if only temporary, and set the ImageUrl property of your Image control to point to that file.

Actually saving image is not possible as per our requirement. I need to some other way to do it.
I have been searching for past one day nothing was helpful but sure i can try saving an image, could you please provide some sample code as reference like how to save an image to folder in run time? and then how to access it.

Well, you can't just throw a bunch of bytes that comprise an image into the middle of an HTML page, the client's browser needs to see an <img src="http://someurl.jpg"></img> tag, and in turn the browser will download the image file pointed to by the src attribute and display it on screen.
What you can do, however, is make the ImageUrl of your Image control point to an ASHX page, and have that .ashx file output the bytes of the image.

Thanks for your sample code, to be more clear..
my code,
system.drawing.image = CovertToImage(string xyz);
//CovertToImage is some method that converts string into an image of type system.drawing.image... now i have a image control on web page i have to catch the image and need to assign to image control on web page.
Above code you provided i was unable to get it exactly were to use as i never used an http handler previously.

Right-click your project, add new item, I believe it's called a "Generic Handler"
It creates a .ashx file, and when a web browser asks for this file the code-behind is run and the only thing sent to the client is what you explicitly send with Response.Write et al - there is not markup or HTML for these files.
