display byte array image in MVC4 view

Question

i'm trying to display an image in my view.

i've written an Image helper:

    public static class Helpers
    {
        public static FileContentResult Image(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, 
        byte[] imageData, string mimeType)
        {
            return new FileContentResult(imageData, mimeType);
        }
    }

myImage - is a byte array.

<img src="@Html.Image(myImage, "image/jpeg")" />

but my image is not displayed...

when i look at the source code all i see is:

<img src="System.Web.Mvc.FileContentResult">

anyone? :)

The way you are doing it you are returning the FileContentResult in between the quotes of the src="".

I see what you are trying to do, but in order for this to work, the <img src=> needs to request the URL of the image not simply put the byte[] in the src. So you'll need to set up an action method that takes in some parameter and returns the FileContentResult.
