Your path structure should be \server\share\path	o\file ex:- \192.168.10.20\ path

you can create an extension method as public static class ImageExtension { protected static string PhotoBase64ImgSrc(this string fileNameandPath) { byte[] byteArray = File.ReadAllBytes(fileNameandPath); string base64 = Convert.ToBase64String(byteArray); return string.Format( "data:image/jpg;base64,{0}" , base64); } } in your view use it like this using ImageExtension; @{ var networkPath= \BARBIN\TEST\1.jpg; var actualPath= networkPath. PhotoBase64ImgSrc(); } actualPath " />

from 1.cshtml.cs: public static class ImageExtension { public static string PhotoBase64ImgSrc(this string fileNameandPath) { byte[] byteArray = File.ReadAllBytes(fileNameandPath); string base64 = Convert.ToBase64String(byteArray); return string.Format("data:image/jpg;base64,{0}", base64); } } from 1.cshtml: using ImageExtension; @{ var networkPath= "\BARBINFAMILY\kas\1.jpg"; //string networkPath = "\BARBINFAMILY\kas\1.jpg"; var actualPath= networkPath.PhotoBase64ImgSrc(); }

Hi Sachin, Thank you very much for your help. I tried to compile and run but i got this error. I am accessing the network server from my client via VPN. I use my local folder and network drive but still getting this error.
