[Solved] Show image directly from database

[Joffrey]

Hi all

I have a Databasetable with images in it.
Now I want to show those images in a GridTemplateColumn.
I want to show them directly from database, without first storing the pics on disk.
Is this possible? And how?

The code so far looks like this:

	<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="ImageColumn">
	<ItemTemplate>
	<img id="PlantImage" src='<%# Eval("Image") %>.jpg' alt=""/>
	</ItemTemplate>
	<HeaderStyle Width="100px" />
	<ItemStyle Width="240px" />
	</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

But the images wont show up in the Grid.
I'm just stuck.

Thanks for your help.

FYI, this is the code I use to upload the images into the database. They are uploaded with  radUpload. Code is mostly from a Telerik KB article.

	protected void btnUpload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
	{
	mediaTypeTable = mediaType.GetAllMediaTypes();
	foreach (UploadedFile file in ruplMedia.UploadedFiles)
	{
	string extension = file.GetExtension().Remove(0,1);
	string imageType = file.ContentType;
	string name = file.GetNameWithoutExtension();
	//Set the mediaTypeId
	int mediaTypeId = 0;
	foreach (DataRow row in mediaTypeTable.Rows)
	{
	if (extension.Equals(row["Extension"].ToString()))
	{
	mediaTypeId = Convert.ToInt32(row["MediaTypeId"]);
	break;
	}
	}
	//ImageData
	byte[] binaryImageData = new byte[file.InputStream.Length];
	file.InputStream.Read(binaryImageData, 0, Convert.ToInt32(file.InputStream.Length));
	media.Insert(Convert.ToInt32(rcbPlant.SelectedValue), mediaTypeId, name, name, binaryImageData);
	}
	}
