Display an image contained in a byte[] with ASP.Net MVC3

Question

I've a view with a strong type. This strong type has a field consisting of a byte[], this array contains a picture.

Is it possible to display this image with something like @Html.Image(Model.myImage) ?

Thank you very much

You can create a controller action method that returns an image as a FileContentResult:

public FileContentResult Display(string id) {
   byte[] byteArray = GetImageFromDB(id);
   return new FileContentResult(byteArray, "image/jpeg");
}

Then you can create an ActionLink to the action method in the view using the image id from the model.
