title: Can an ASP.NET MVC controller return an Image?
body: <p>Can I create a Controller that simply returns an image asset?</p>
  
  <p>I would like to route this logic through a controller, whenever a URL such as the following is requested:</p>
  
  <pre><code>www.mywebsite.com/resource/image/topbanner
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The controller will look up <code>topbanner.png</code> and send that image directly back to the client.</p>
  
  <p>I've seen examples of this where you have to create a View - I don't want to use a View. I want to do it all with just the Controller.</p>
  
  <p>Is this possible?</p>
