I am struggling for long time to display a GIF file on an ASP page. I
have tried to return a GIF file in few formats
from a webservice.
Webservice returns the images as MemoryStream.Ge tBuffer(). Its an
array of unsigned bytes.I also tried to return it
in base64 encoded format.
I can call this webservice in either of 2 ways
1) Directly from ASP -- It returns me this ..

2) From VB(again I am returning byte array) which inturn is called by
ASP -- I get the
same junk as above.
I need to convert it as a GIF file in my ASP page.
Can you guys suggest how it could by achived. I am open to change code
at any layer.
Note - I am not getting any file back from VB or Web service. I am
only getting it in some encoded format(byte array
or base64)
My ASP code is like this -
<%@ LANGUAGE="VBSCR IPT"%>
<% Response.Expire s = 0
Response.Buffer = True
Response.clear
Response.conten ttype = "image/gif"
Response.AddHea der "content-disposition", "inline; filename=MyMap. gif"
Set myEXE = CreateObject("E xFireSafeMapInf oTool.MapInfo")
varGetImage = myEXE.GenerateM apForHousehold( )
RESPONSE.Binary Write (varGetImage)
'Value of varGetImage -- Same as Above Junk I get in ASP (Dont know
what format is this?)
%>
My VB Component function is something like this -
Public Function GenerateMapForH ousehold() As Variant
Dim szFileName As String
Dim oSOAP As New SoapClient30 'Soap Type Library 3
Dim bytImage() As Byte
Dim szPicture As String
Dim iCount As Integer
Dim File As Integer
File = FreeFile
'Make the Call to Web Service to retrive the Image.
oSOAP.ClientPro perty("ServerHT TPRequest") = True
oSOAP.MSSoapIni t "http://localhost/WebService1/GetImage.asmx?W SDL"
bytImage = oSOAP.GetImage( "bayshore.g if")
GenerateMapForH ousehold3A = bytImage
'I can retreive this image in VB using this code -
'szPicture = App.Path & "\Test.gif"
'Open szPicture For Binary As File
'For iCount = LBound(bytImage ) To UBound(bytImage ) - 1
' Put #1, , bytImage(iCount )
'Next
'Close #1
'GenerateMapFor Household = szPicture
'Set Form1.imgTest.P icture = LoadPicture(Gen erateMapForHous ehold)
End function
And web service(c#) method is something like this-
using System.IO;
using System.Drawing. Imaging;
public byte[] GetImage(string strFileName)
{
StreamWriter sr;
Byte sIn = new Byte();
Image MyImage;
MemoryStream MemStr = new MemoryStream();
MyImage = new Bitmap(Server.M apPath( strFileName));
MyImage.Save(Me mStr, ImageFormat.Jpe g);
return MemStr.GetBuffe r();
//I have 1 more function to return base64 encoded string but dont
know how to use it further.
}
Please help.
