How do I display Dropbox image files in an ASP.NET web page using Core API in C#

Question

I want to show Dropbox image files in an ASP.NET image control using the Core API in C#. I'm populating the dropbox image file using the below code:

RequestResult strReq = OAuthUtility.Get
(
    "https://api.dropbox.com/1/metadata/auto/",
    new HttpParameterCollection
    {
        { "path", "FilePath" },
        { "access_token", "AccessToken" }
    }
);

Suppose there is an image control on the .aspx page

<asp:Image id="Image1" runat="server">

and I want to display the Dropbox image file on this control.

See stackoverflow.com/questions/46788/…. I think you need to create an HttpHandler. The Dropbox part of this should be no different from using any other content for the image. — user94559

The initial link was incorrect, instead of:

dropbox.com/1/metadata/

The following link should have been used:

dropboxapi.com/1/media/
