Display an image from a path in asp.net MVC and Razor view

In this blog post we will learn how to display images from a path in ASP.NET MVC and Razor view. Step-by-step guide with code examples for easy implementation.To display an image from a path in an ASP.NET MVC application with Razor view, follow these steps:

1. Add the Image Path to Your Model

Assuming you have a model that contains the image path property, make sure to include the property in your model class. For example:

public class Product
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string ImagePath { get; set; }
    // Other properties as needed
}

2. Save the Image in the Specified Path

Before displaying the image, ensure that the image file is saved in the specified path. In this example, we'll assume the image is stored in a folder named "Images" within the web application's root directory.

3. Create a Controller

Create a controller that will handle the requests and pass the model to the Razor view. In this example, we'll use a "ProductsController":

public class ProductsController : Controller
{
    // Action to display the image
    public ActionResult DisplayImage(int id)
    {
        // Retrieve the product details from the database or any other data source
        // For simplicity, we'll use a mock product here
        var product = new Product
        {
            Id = id,
            Name = "Sample Product",
            ImagePath = "/Images/sample-image.jpg" // Path to the image
        };

        return View(product);
    }
}

4. Create the Razor View

Create a Razor view that will display the image. In this example, we'll create a "DisplayImage.cshtml" view:

@model YourNamespace.Product

@{
    Layout = null;
}

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Display Image</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h2>@Model.Name</h2>
    <img src="@Url.Content(Model.ImagePath)" alt="Product Image" />
</body>
</html>

Note: Make sure the image path is correct and accessible from the application. The above example assumes the image is in the "Images" folder at the root level of the web application. You may need to adjust the path accordingly based on your project structure.

By following these steps, you can successfully display an image from a path in an ASP.NET MVC application using Razor view.
