How I can open the image saved in database directly using Internet Explorer (Not WebBrowser control in WinForm/WPF) without saving it to a file first?

    You have tagged this question to C#, where is C# involved here? Is it that you want a code in C# to get the image from DB and display it in a Web Browser? – Arif Eqbal Apr 19 '12 at 05:33
  • Yes, the code I needed is in C#. I can get the image from database in byte[] format but I don't know how to display it using Internet Explorer, not the "WebBrowser" control. Thanks. – user1342669 Apr 19 '12 at 05:41

I think this is not possible unless you create a web page or something similar to display the image from a temp file

  • Not true, you just need a handler which returns the byte[] with correct content type. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21877/dynamically-rendering-aspimage-from-blob-entry-in-asp-net – Kirk Broadhurst Apr 19 '12 at 06:36

Search for Process.Start look at the site... MSDN

This gives you the exact example of opening a file in IE, you might need to save your image into a temp file on the disk
