getting image url in nop commerce is throwing exception

Question

I have the following exception: System.Web.HttpException (0x80004005)

This is the code which cause it.

using (var img = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(_pictureService.GetThumbLocalPath(picture)))
{
    using (var memStream = new MemoryStream())
    {
        img.Save(memStream, img.RawFormat);
        byte[] imageBytes = memStream.ToArray();

        // Convert byte[] to Base64 String
        base64String = Convert.ToBase64String(imageBytes);
        ImageBase64 = base64String;
    }
}

Just cant figure out how to resolve it.

Anyone know what up.

Something about not valid virtual path. In exception: "is not a valid virtual path. at System.Web.Util.UrlPath.CheckValidVirtualPath(String path)"

Full exception:

Answer 1

Ok so it's working now.

Working with nopcommerce picture model, I can generate base64 images like this.

base64String = Convert.ToBase64String(picture.PictureBinary);

Thanks for the help, hope this helps someone else.
