Create a separate .aspx page, which doesn't have any HTML. In the code behind you load the image into a memory stream and you stream that data towards the browser by writing it into the response, setting the appropriate headers. (so clear the headers first):
Response.ClearHeaders(); Response.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/unknown"); Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition"); Response.AddHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "Binary"); Response.BinaryWrite(fileContents); You then do in your normal webpage: <!-- some html --> <IMG SRC="myImageLoader.aspx?ImageID=343232"> and you then pass the image id to load to the page, I now used a hardcoded number. I'm not entirely sure about the mimetype I used here, I snipped a part from a binary file streamer page, but the idea is the same.
