Question

I tried to implement this solution here:
Display image from database in asp mvc

But the picture is not showing. I wonder what I could be doing wrong.
ApplicantPosition is a table with a 2 column primary key, that’s why I use 2 parameters.
It seems to be pretty simple and I got not compiler errors.

public ActionResult Show(int applicantId, int positionId)
    {
        var imageData = unitOfWork.ApplicantPositionRepository.Find(d => d.ApplicantID == applicantId && d.PositionID == positionId).ToList()[0].Applicant.photo;
        return File(imageData, "image/jpg");
    }



<img src="@Url.Action("show", "image", new { applicantId = ViewData["applicantId"] , positionId=ViewData["positionId"]} )"  />

This is the initializer of the database that shows that I am loading the pictures.

  protected override void Seed(HRContext context)
        {
            #region Status
            Status applied = new Status() { status = "Applied" };

Answer 1

you have an incorrect syntax, try this:

<img src="@Url.Action("Show", new { applicantId = item.ApplicantID, positionId=item.PositionID  })" />
