Extracting image from d/b & displaying it in a cell of a table

[neha12]

In this way Iam extracting an image from the database-: Dim s As Image Dim arrPicture() As Byte = CType(reader1.GetValue(2), Byte()) Dim ms As New MemoryStream(arrPicture) s.FromStream(ms) Now I want to transfer this image in a specific cell of a table.So I use the statement as given below -: “tcell.Controls.Add(s)” But then this statement is giving me error stating that -: “Value of type “system.drawing.image” cannot be converted to “system.web.ui.control” “ Is there a way so that I can convert “system.drawing.image” to “system.web.ui.control” ???

Could you write the image to a temporary file, then add a literal control with the IMG tag referencing the temporary file, or something along those lines?

I think that it is not possible to cast System.Drawing.Image to System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image. There is a way to send bytes to the browser, using HttpResponse.BinaryWrite, but I'm not familiar enough with it to show you any code.
