Ok karl,
this i know to do, but now, is possible to compile the assembly with a .aspx
page?
I don't want to have to distribute a .dll and a .aspx page, i want to
distribute only
the assembly (.dll).
Is possible to compile the .aspx page in a assembly?

Thanks.

You can't do that. An image is an individual request and thus takes the
entire stream..you can't mix text (html) with binary (image) data.

What you can do is:

saida += "<img
src=imageGenerator.aspx?imageId=WHATEVERINFORMATION_YOU_NEED_TO_BUILD_YOUR_I
MAGE>";

and move your function that returns an image to imageGenerator.aspx, saving
the image to the Response.OutputStream ...

The only thing I can think of is to use an HttpHandler..not sure if it'll do
the trick though, can't say I know enough to give a good answer, but
hopefully that'll give you something to try out...
