How to convert Byte Array into Image Url

[pavanip]

Hi,

I am developing a simple application Image Zooming using ASP and C#.
In that I used treeview control to display images in different levels or sizes.
Here I am storing the images in database in byte format.
If I click on particular image I am displaying that in Imagebutton.
How can I get image path that is stored in database in byte format.
I want that image path from database.
Please anybody help me.


Thanks in Advance

Convert byte array into string so now you can get image url

You could create an ASPX page to serve up your images.
Basically create a new ASPX page and strip out the content...so your ASPX page would look something like:

[code=asp]
<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup ="false" CodeBehind="Pic ture.aspx.vb" Inherits="MyNam espace.Picture" %>
[/code]

Then in your Page_Load you retrieve the image from the database and write that directly to the Response stream....

eg:
[code=vbnet]


'Instead of reading the file from the server, read it from your database.
'You will have to pass a Parameter in with your query string that will let this aspx page know what your picture ID in order to retrieve the image from your database.
Dim fs As FileStream = File.OpenRead(S erver.MapPath(" ~/Images/theImageName.jp g"))
Dim b(fs.Length) As Byte
For i = 0 To fs.Length - 1
b(i) = fs.ReadByte
Next
fs.Close()
'Note that I'm setting the content type to image/jpg...so now when this ASPX page is returned to the browser, it's mime type is set to image/jpg...which the browser will render as an image
Response.Conten tType = "image/jpg"
Response.Binary Write(b)
[/code]

Then for your link button you would set the image url to be aspx page serving up your image.

eg:
[code=vbnet]
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles Me.Load

myImageButton.I mageUrl = "Picture.as px"

'Since you'll have to pass some ID into your picture aspx page your ImageUrl will look more like:
'myImageButton. ImageUrl = "Picture.aspx?p icId=12345"
End Sub
[/code]
