Bitmap as a Image web control

Hi Ya,

quick question for you. Im a little new to web controls and im trying
to have a control that returns a bitmap image.

So i have created a web control library, added a control,

have the following

public class MyImage : System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image
{
      Public Bitmap MyBitmap()
               {
                        bitmap = new Bitmap(
         300,
         60,
         PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);
       //........
       // do some stuff
       return bitmap
               }

}

so how can i make it that the image control has the results from the
MyBitmap method?

or am i doing this totally wrong?

The image control can only contain a URL. The URL does not have to be to an
image file, however. You can give it the URL to a special page that outputs
the result of your bitmap function.

Here's more info and a detailed example:
