ASP.Net MVC: How to display a byte array image from model

Something like this may work…

@{
    var base64 = Convert.ToBase64String(Model.ByteArray);
    var imgSrc = String.Format("data:image/gif;base64,{0}", base64);
}

As mentioned in the comments below, please use the above armed with the knowledge that although this may answer your question it may not solve your problem. Depending on your problem this may be the solution but I wouldn’t completely rule out accessing the database twice.
