Display ByteArrayContent in Angular

I am having Web API which is two years old and don't want to make changes as it is working fine in existing Knockout and polymer applications.

I am trying to work with angular and wants to display this image.

Here is my API Code

 public HttpResponseMessage GetResponse()
    {
        HttpResponseMessage response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK);

        response.Content = new ByteArrayContent(this.Data);
        response.Content.Headers.ContentType = "image/jpeg";

        return response;
    }

when I go to http://localhost:6060/designs/42698 in the browser it display image. No issues.

When I am trying to access this in angular using the below code, I am getting error as shown in attached image enter image description here

this.service
  .getImage(this.id)
  .subscribe(
    (baseImage: any) => {
      if (baseImage !== null) {
      const objectURL = 'data:image/jpeg;base64,' + baseImage.image;
      this.image = this.sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustUrl(objectURL);
      } else {
        this.image  = '../assets/images/placeholder.png';
      }
    },
    error => {
      this.errorMessage = error.error;
    }
  );

Here is getimage code

 public getImage(id: number) {
const url = `http://localhost:6060/designs/42968`;
return this.http.get<any>(url)
  .pipe(catchError(error => this.errorHandler(error))); }

I can see the image in Network tab in chrome developer tools but still throwing error.

After adding response type as blob, I am getting the data as attached screenshot. enter image description here

Here is what you have to do pass your response blob file

 var reader_data = new FileReader();
 reader_data.readAsDataURL(your_blob_file); 
 reader_data.onloadend = function() {
     var base64data = reader_data.result;                
     console.log(base64data);<--- this returns base64
     this.image = this.sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustUrl(base64data);
 }

You need to convert your image data to a dataURL:

const fileReader = new FileReader();

fileReader.onload = (e) => this.image = e.target.result;
fileReader.readAsDataURL(new Blob([Data]));

And also make sure you set the responseType to be of type blob in your getImage() service like @vsoni mentioned. It should looks like this:

public getImage(id: number) {
   const url = `http://localhost:6060/designs/42968`;
   return this.http.get<any>(url, { responseType: "blob" })
     .pipe(catchError(error => this.errorHandler(error))); 
}

Than you can display the image like this:

<img [src]="image"/>

EDIT:

Try this one:

reader.onload = function() {
   console.log(reader.result)
   this.image = reader.result;
};

reader.readAsDataURL(yourBlobFileFromServerHere);
