How to display image stored on the network in asp.net core 3.1 in c#

Hello Sir, Mam,

I want to display the image from shared drive instead locally.

Shared Drive: \\BARBIN\\TEST\\1.jpg

How can I implement this in asp.net core?

Thanks!

Rodel

Accepted answer
Your path structure should be
\\server\share\path\to\file
ex:- \\192.168.10.20\\ path

from 1.cshtml.cs:

public static class ImageExtension
{
public static string PhotoBase64ImgSrc(this string fileNameandPath)
{
byte[] byteArray = File.ReadAllBytes(fileNameandPath);
string base64 = Convert.ToBase64String(byteArray);
return string.Format("data:image/jpg;base64,{0}", base64);
}
}

from 1.cshtml:

using ImageExtension;
@{
var networkPath= "\\BARBINFAMILY\\kas\\1.jpg";
//string networkPath = "\\BARBINFAMILY\\kas\\1.jpg";
var actualPath= networkPath.PhotoBase64ImgSrc();
}

Hi Sachin,

Thank you very much for your help.

I tried to compile and run but i got this error. I am accessing the network server from my client via VPN.
I use my local folder and network drive but still getting this error.

you can create an extension method as
public static class ImageExtension
{
protected static string PhotoBase64ImgSrc(this string fileNameandPath)
{
byte[] byteArray = File.ReadAllBytes(fileNameandPath);
string base64 = Convert.ToBase64String(byteArray);
return string.Format("data:image/jpg;base64,{0}", base64);
}
}
in your view use it like this
using ImageExtension;
@{
var networkPath= \\BARBIN\\TEST\\1.jpg;
var actualPath= networkPath.PhotoBase64ImgSrc();
}

actualPath" />
