Display image as part of MVC view.
My goal is to display an image from the database on the SAME view as other information, not in a second browser window.
This method gets an image but returns it to a new browser window.
Controller:
public ActionResult GetImage(
{
MemoryStream ms = GetImageFromDB();
return File(ms.ToArray(), "image/png");
}
If I change the method to store the image in the model, like so
Model:
public FileContentResult imageContent { get; set; }
Controller:
public void GetImage(
{
MemoryStream ms = GetImageFromDB();
alphaIndexModel.imageConte
}
View:
How can I get it to display in the view? This code does not work.
@if(@Model.imageContent != null)
{
<img src="@Model.imageContent.F
}

So simple. So elegant. Thank you.
I don't understand you choise of answer. CraigWagner only repeated the code from your question.
Just show the image the normal way, let the browser request the image from your `GetImage` resource:
Open in new window
(Adjust the URL to whatever controller name you use.)
