RadBinaryImage in ServerControl

[Adam Nelson]

Is this possible??

I have a server control which renders a div, and inside the div I want to display the "avatar" for the supplied object.

Simplified example of the RenderContents method of the server control.

 

protected override void RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter writer)

{

writer.RenderBeginTag(HtmlTextWriterTag.Div);

RadBinaryImage image = new RadBinaryImage();

image.DataValue = customer.Avatar; //byte array

image.Width = image.Height = Unit.Pixel(80);

image.AlternateText = customer.Name;

//image.DataBind();

image.RenderControl(writer);               writer.WriteLine();             writer.RenderEndTag();

}

 

When the control is rendered on the page, the image shown is the browsers default image not found placeholder. I know the customer object being used in the test has an avatar specified so the DataValue property should be set correctly. 

I tried calling databind also because all the examples show it being used in a databound control, but that didnt seem work either.

Let me know if I'm doing something wrong or if this is just not supported.

Thanks,

Adam

Hello Adam,

I am afraid that I was not able to replicate described issue.
For your convenience I've prepared sample project. Please find it attached to this post.

I tried the sample application, and got the same image not found result..

I then added a RadBinaryImage control to the markup of the page, and set the DataValue the same way its being set in the server control...(creates a memory stream of an image from file)...

The RadBinaryImage on the page renders correctly, the one within the server control does not.

I can send the modified sample back if necessary and some screenshots....

I first thought this was a file permission issue, but it doesnt look like thats the case since one renders and the other does not. I'm beginning to believe its just not something that is supported at this time and will submit a feature request if that is the case.

Hello Adam,

The sample project that I send you in my previous post is working properly on my end. Can you please ensure that you haven't disable any http handlers. This might be a reason for not streaming the image.
