Image from a WebService

[Nicolas]

Hello!

I have a question: I have a database in MySql that has two fields (code and
image). Now, I want to create a WebService that takes the image of the most
current row (the code is the date in which the image took). And then, create
a page in ASP.NET that calls this WebService, show the image and repeat this
behavior every 5 seconds (it is the time that is take a new image be
creating in the base of information). Can someone help or at least orientate
me in this?

Thank you very much and sorry about my poor english

Nicolas,
ASP.NET WebServices transmit images as type byte[] (a byte array) and they
are typically sent over the wire as Base64 Encoded string of data.

Your consumer application should be able to take this byte[] stream result
of it's WebMethod call and, using one of the Image Class overloads, load it
into an Image object for display.
