can we render image sitecore mvc view using itemID

Question

In my MVC view i'm able to get Image ItemID now want to render it i'm doing this as:

   // Getting ImageItemID
   ID myImageItemId = new ID(image.Substring(image.IndexOf('{', 0), 38));
   // Getting ImageItem according myImageItemId 
   Item myImageItem = db.GetItem(myImageItemId);
   @Html.Raw(myImageItem)
   <img src="@myImageItem"/>

please someone can hep to what mistake i'm doing here

Why not just render the image URL into the `src` field using `Sitecore.Resources.Media.MediaManager.GetMediaUrl(myImageItem)`? — jammykam, Dec 24 '14 at 16:41
I agree with Jammykam. That to me seems like the easiest way to render the image unless you need it page editor enabled. — Varun Nehra, Dec 25 '14 at 09:01

You need a dedicated action that will return the contents of the actual image by it's id:

public ActionResult Image(int imageID)
{
    byte[] image = SomeService.GetImageBytes(imageID);

    return File(image, "image/jpeg");
}

After that you can use this action in your view:

<img src="@Url.Action("Image", "SomeController", new {imageID = myImageItem})"/>

actually it's a partial view which is rendering on Ajax Call so it's doesn't any Model & controller it's just for getting result from sitecore & rendering them – Amit Sharma Dec 24 '14 at 15:07
You should create a separate action (you can create a separate controller for that too) which will return the image – Vsevolod Goloviznin Dec 24 '14 at 15:10
you mean here i need to create separate controller for this – Amit Sharma Dec 24 '14 at 15:11
You need to do whatever suits your best, you can create a separate controller or you can use an existing controller and add this action there – Vsevolod Goloviznin Dec 24 '14 at 15:12
what is your mean by "SomeService" in controller ActionResult method – Amit Sharma Dec 24 '14 at 15:13
