You should create an ashx handler. Then in your page output insert some tag
<img src="yourhandler.ashx?id=yourid" ..>In the handler class you read the image from the DB and stream down to the client with Response.Write. Remember to set the content type properly.Here an example: http://www.developerfusion.com/code/5223/using-ashx-files-to-retrieve-db-images/. As soon you have a first version working, you probably need to improve it by adding some cache handling, but let’s start creating the handle 🙂
