ASP.Net MVC: How to display a byte array image from model

This worked for me

<img src="data:image;base64,@System.Convert.ToBase64String(Model.CategoryPicture.Content)" width="80" height="80"/>     

Something like this may work...

@{
    var base64 = Convert.ToBase64String(Model.ByteArray);
    var imgSrc = String.Format("data:image/gif;base64,{0}", base64);
}

<img src="@imgSrc" />

As mentioned in the comments below, please use the above armed with the knowledge that although this may answer your question it may not solve your problem. Depending on your problem this may be the solution but I wouldn't completely rule out accessing the database twice.
