I am trying to display the base64 string in aspx page. I am using the below code:

System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image imgNew = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image();
 imgNew.ImageUrl = string.Format("data:application/jpeg;base64,{0}", Convert.ToString(base64String));

this only works for the base64string for the jpeg formats. for the base64string of the pdf the image is not displaying properly. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

    Image control cannot display PDF file. Try to convert pdf to image. https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/60986d1b-2832-4413-8e8a-8290c196ffec/converting-pdf-file-to-an-jpeg-image?forum=csharpgeneral – Access Denied Sep 17 '18 at 04:30
  • by using `Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"; Response.AddHeader("content-length", outputPDF.Length.ToString()); Response.BinaryWrite(outputPDF);` I am able to see as a PDF . **But I am no aware of styling the PDF (need to border the contents)** – Programmer Sep 17 '18 at 05:16

Convert the byte[] to Base64 using,

string base64PDF = System.Convert.ToBase64String(outputPDF, 0, outputPDF.Length);
