image handler on mvc

Question

i want to create an image handler that will resize and serve images to my application, how do i call the handler on mvc?

Answer 1

You would use return a FileStreamResult in your action method instead of a handler.

public ActionResult GetFile()
{
    using (FileStream stream = new FileStream())
    {
        FileStreamResult result = new FileStreamResult(stream, "image/jpg");
        result.FileDownloadName = "image.jpg";
        return result;
    }
}

You could implement some resizing logic in the action.
