Return image from webservice

[zion]

Hi,

I have database with picture locations, for example: c:\temp\test.jp g.
How can webservice return picture link?
<img width=200 height=150 src='file://c:\\temp\\test. jpg' />

<img width=200 height=150 src='c:\\temp\\ test.jpg' />

It works only if the link is:

<img width=200 height=150 src=http://images/test.jpg' />

return strLocalPath.Re place( "file://c:\\temp\\", "http://images/" );

Hi, the image on server can be seen on client (browser) if that
image's located in a virtual directory. For example, you have an image
in "c:\wwwpub\imag es\test.jpg" and the folder "c:\wwwpub\imag es"
mapped to virtual directory "/pub/". So this image can be request at
url "http://host/pub/test.jpg"
In your case, you have two ways to solve :
1. Change image localtion in your database to some folder mapped to
virtual directory
2. Store image content instead path. In this way, you just return
image content (as binary stream) with some http header to tell browser
know that image.
