I have this image tag: <img src="url goes here" />
My controller action looks like this:
public string GetProfilePhotoPath(){
var userId = User.Identity.GetUserId();
var userImage = db.Users.FirstOrDefault(u => u.Id == userId).ProfilePhotoPath;
return userImage;
}
userImage contains something like this: ~/Content/img/users/userABCD.png
Now my question is, how do I call the controller and get the path so I can pass it to src?
maybe something like this:
<img src="@Url.Content("~/Content/img/users/" + ControllerB().GetProfilePhotoPath()" alt="" />
example calling from another controller, "ControllerB" will be the actual name of your controller ControllerB (receiving part):
var result = new ControllerB().GetProfilePhotoPath();
or you can try using a ViewBag ?
ViewBag.MyString = myString;
Then you would use it like
img src="@Url.Content("~/Content/img/users/" + @ViewBag.MyString" alt="" />
