Thanks Gokul,

Try creating a generic handler file by right clicking your project and Add new item ... you will notice that the structure will automatically get created you just need to fill your code.

In my code, I have checked for the querystring of autoid if its null then doing nothing else proceeding further and getting the connection string from the web.config file. Retrieving the image data from database using SqlConnection and SqlCommand object and then writing the picture file data as binary as the response.

Try to debug the app I have attached and you will get better understanding.

Thanks

you can use this in code behind to bind image
ProfilePhotoImag.ImageUrl = ~/FetchProfileImage.ashx?Imageid=" + Imageid;

and now create a handler class and write following code

public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
try
{
if (context.Request.QueryString["Imageid"] != null)
{
Imageid= int.Parse(context.Request.QueryString["Imageid"]);
}
context.Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";
// connecting to database to get byte array which is stored in database
byte[] barrImg = objMBL.GetProfilePhoto(Imageid);


System.IO.Stream strm = new System.IO.MemoryStream(barrImg);

int byteSeq = strm.Read(barrImg, 0, barrImg.Length);

while (byteSeq > 0)
{
context.Response.OutputStream.Write(barrImg, 0, byteSeq);
byteSeq = strm.Read(barrImg, 0, barrImg.Length);
}
}
