How to pass binary image to Awesomium WebControl in VB.Net Applications

I'm creating a UI Design for my application in VB.Net with the help of HTML5 and CSS3 and Awesomium WebControl.

In my application I have to fetch binary data from a database and convert it to an Image Object and I have to show the Image in the application. The problem is that I want my UI Design to be full html and css and I don't know how to pass an Image Object in .NET to the Awesomium WebControl in a way that it show the image in html element.

Or in another way: For Example: How to pass my "My.Resources.MyImage" object to the Awesomium WebControl?

Dim img As System.Drawing.Image = My.Resources.MyImage
WebControl1.   <----------- How To Pass The Object to the Control?

Thank you in advance.

Solution

  • Awesomium is actually designed exactly for scenarios such as this.

    The best way to achieve this in 1.7 RC3 is by using a DataSource and load your resource using the asset:// protocol. For application resources in particular, we've added a predefined ResourceDataSource.

    Check the WPF WebControlSample available with the SDK, for an example of usage.
