Images not rendering in localhost

Question

I have images sitting within my project root at Data\Images\articles. I am trying to render the image using the code below in MVC:

<img src="@Url.Content(Model.Image)" alt="Image" />

It's not displaying the image, however the rendered html code is correct.

<img src="/Data/Images/Articles/16fd7bc5-3bac-474a-a806-b8d72b974960.PNG" alt="Image">

I am running the project from Visual studio server, not through IIS. Any idea what I am doing wrong here?

Have you tried using fiddler or browser's dev tools to check the requested URL? — Diego, Jul 10 '15 at 19:27
Also, make sure its not cache (could try another browser or event private/incognito mode). — Diego, Jul 10 '15 at 19:27
So if you visit `http://localhost:XXXX/Data/Images/Articles/16fd7bc5-3bac-474a-a806-b8d72b974960.PNG`, what do you get? — DavidG, Jul 10 '15 at 19:30
browser dev tool shows the correct url, and its definitely not cached — User, Jul 10 '15 at 19:30
There seems to be something wrong in the path. 404 means the file doesn't exist — Diego, Jul 10 '15 at 19:33
Are you 100% sure? It's a long GUID for a name, you may have mistyped. — DavidG, Jul 10 '15 at 19:34
You could try to access the image by its physical path: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/186062/can-an-asp-net-mvc-controller-return-an-image (just for testing purposes) — Diego, Jul 10 '15 at 19:37
What URL do you see in your browser for the page that works? — DavidG, Jul 10 '15 at 19:38
guys its sorted now , long file name was causing the problem here. appreciate your help. — User, Jul 10 '15 at 19:43

Different file name was generating as compare to what was expecting in logic causing 404 error when validating the image file name
