I tried to implement this solution here: Display image from database in asp mvc
But the picture is not showing. I wonder what I could be doing wrong. ApplicantPosition is a table with a 2 column primary key, that's why I use 2 parameters. It seems to be pretty simple and I got not compiler errors.
public ActionResult Show(int applicantId, int positionId)
{
var imageData = unitOfWork.ApplicantPositionRepository.Find(d => d.ApplicantID == applicantId && d.PositionID == positionId).ToList()[0].Applicant.photo;
return File(imageData, "image/jpg");
}
<img src="@Url.Action("show", "image", new { applicantId = ViewData["applicantId"] , positionId=ViewData["positionId"]} )" />
This is the initializer of the database that shows that I am loading the pictures.
