Image Handler for Sharepoint Not Working - sharepoint

Question

My ImageHandler.ashx is not working when the webpart is calling it. any ideas on what is the correct way on calling or adding a handler in sharepoint? Thanks in advance
Here My ImageHandler.ashx code
byte[] buffer = (byte[])image.ImageData;
context.Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";
context.Response.OutputStream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
In my webpart
imgcontrol.ImageUrl = "ImageHandler.aspx?id=1";

Answer 1

Check the Location where you have Deployed the ImageHandler.ashx. I have done similar thing in past and was able to get it working without any issues.
I deployed to _Layouts folder
imgcontrol.ImageUrl="_Layouts\x.ashx";
I assume that the code in your question is just a typo.
imgcontrol.ImageUrl = "ImageHandler.ashx?id=1";

Answer 2

this is a fragment from my own image handler that we use to load map pins in a sharepoint mapping webpart. We load the image, modify it, then return it.
Bitmap bmpPin = Bitmap.FromFile("myImageFile.jpg") as Bitmap
using (MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream())
{
this.m_Context.Response.ContentType = "image/png";
bmpPin.Save(memStream, ImageFormat.Png);
memStream.WriteTo(context.Response.OutputStream);
memStream.Close();
memStream.Dispose();
}
bmpPin.Dispose();
