Refer local disk image in C# html string

Question

I am generating a pdf document using DinkToPdf and need to embed an image (present in the release folder) using img tag.

But it only works for internet URLs and not for local disk images

What I tried is var HTML = @"<img src=""/myimage.png""/>"

But no image is displayed once the PDF is generated. But works fine if the path is an internet URL

How can I solve this?

[Edit to clarify the question] The image resides in the server and this needs to be embedded in the first page of the document

I dont think pdf can read data from disk. This is security horror if can. — daremachine, Jan 26 '21 at 16:09
@daremachine Probably I presented the question wrong. The image resides in the server and I just want to embed it in the pdf document — Arctic, Jan 26 '21 at 16:19

You need to specify full path like this if you have your image in folder \wwwroot\Documents\ImgName.jpg

<img src="https://localhost:50001/Documents/ImgName.jpg">

Full path is not needed. Make sure your relative path is correct.

<img src=""/myimage.png""/>" Does the image resides on same executing environment?

If not use ~ to go back a directory. Image cannot exist on different project. It should be same as executing project.

A screenshot of folder structure would be helpful.
