Download image from DB and view it...
Please support our C# advertiser: Intel Parallel Studio Home

I've never actually done that, but I'm guessing you're going to have to create some sort of BinaryStream then create a file out of that, then use the BitMap.LoadFromFile() method to load the picture....I'm not actualy sure though.
I found a way to do it. I uploaded all the thousands of images to the DB. Now to show them up, I download the one I need to the server, then just show it on the page. It's fine like this but if anybody would know if it is possible to show the image on a page without copying the file to a drive, it would be nice... thx

This question might have been answered sooner if it were posted in the Web Development | ASP.NET forum.
Youre right I should've posted this in the .NET forum.

No, the technique is to create a webform/aspx application that retrieves an image from the database, and streams it out.
Then, the image CONSUMER application would have an img tag. The "src" attribute is set to the image PRODUCER application.
So if you a red and a blue image, you might have a src as such:
<img src=:http://www.belama.org/imageSelect.aspx?img=red">
The imageSelect.aspx would use the querystring to retrieve the "red" image from the database and stream it back.

Something like this, in the code-behind. This is code that creates an in-memory graphic, but you could just as well retrieve the image from a database:
That code SAVES the image. To SERVE the image, instead, you could use:
Then to use this code inside of another HTML and/or WebForm page, set the img src to the image producing page.
C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
using System; using System.Collections; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Drawing.Imaging; using System.Web; using System.Web.SessionState; using System.Web.UI; using System.Web.UI.WebControls; using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls; namespace charts { /// <summary> /// Summary description for WebForm1. /// </summary> public class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page { protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image Image1; private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { DisplayLine(); Image1.ImageUrl = Server.MapPath("")+"temp.jpg"; } #region Web Form Designer generated code override protected void OnInit(EventArgs e) { // // CODEGEN: This call is required by the ASP.NET Web Form Designer. // InitializeComponent(); base.OnInit(e); } /// <summary> /// Required method for Designer support - do not modify /// the contents of this method with the code editor. /// </summary> private void InitializeComponent() { this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load); } #endregion private void DisplayLine() { Bitmap b =new Bitmap(250,250); b.Save(Server.MapPath("")+"temp.jpg",ImageFormat.Jpeg); Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(b); g.Clear(Color.White); Pen p = new Pen(Color.Blue); g.DrawLine(p,10,240,240,240); b.Save(Server.MapPath("")+"temp.jpg",ImageFormat.Jpeg); } } }
That code SAVES the image. To SERVE the image, instead, you could use:
C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg"; b.Save(Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
Then to use this code inside of another HTML and/or WebForm page, set the img src to the image producing page.
