How to display an Image if I have the Physical Path of that image in webpage in a particular place?

I tried like below but not working.

            img = Server.MapPath(img);
             Image1.ImageUrl=img;

This won't work, 'coz the path is on the server not on User's machine. — ajay_whiz, Jun 29 '11 at 10:55

I believe it would be as below:

ImageInstanceName.ImageUrl = Server.MapPath(@"/Images/image.jpg");

Or if you were wanting to do it in markup then @Bibhu's solution should work.

Here is the link to MSDN library on Server.MapPath.

You can create an Handler which returns the binary output of that image. and in your image tag refer to this handler

eg. <img src="yourImagehandler.ashx"/>

In C# -

Image1.ImageUrl = Server.MapPath("c:\path\to\file.jpg");

-1 "The MapPath method maps the specified relative or virtual path **to** the corresponding physical directory on the server" - your code doesn't work. – Ben Foster Jun 28 '11 at 11:21
Thank you but I'm trying like this `Image1.ImageUrl = Server.MapPath(img);` But it's not showing the image. – Naresh Jun 28 '11 at 11:38
See the link I posted as a comment to your question (this question has been asked before). The above code doesn't work so you shouldn't upvote it. – Ben Foster Jun 28 '11 at 16:32
Relative path is in most cases the one good for that. hdougie's answer is more suitable – radu florescu Dec 23 '11 at 12:04

  <asp:Image id="Image1" runat="server"
       AlternateText="Image text"
       ImageAlign="left"
       ImageUrl="images/image1.jpg"/>
