BinaryImage for ASP.NET AJAX

Overview

RadBinaryImage provides an easy way of displaying an image, which is stored as binary data directly in the database. The control can be used in any data bound control (Repeater, DataList, GridView, RadGrid etc.) to display images which originate from binary image field in the data source. RadBinaryImage uses an internal http handler which streams the image from the binary source to the page in which it has to be visualized.

• HTTP Handler

  The BinaryImage uses an internal Http handler which streams the image from the binary source to the page in which it has to be visualized.

• Browser Caching

  The storage of the binary stream when transferred between the control itself and the handler is the HttpContext.Current.Cache object and the image is cached in the browser. Its default expiration time is 2 hours. This means that subsequent loads of the binary image are taken from the browser cache when using the same url for access. In case the browser cache is disabled, the image will be persisted for 2 minutes on the server before it is streamed to the page from the data source.

• Various Display Settings

  You could specify whether you want the display to be as a thumbnail and provide the thumbnail size, alignment, etc. You can also add a tooltip to the Binary Image to display text upon hover, or even link it.
