Hi,  
I have a perspective view of where I am using the Signature component. And on a button, i am trying to store the same at the backend. Now, I know, there is an option to store in binary or varbinary objects back in my database. Still, at a later stage, I want functionality where I want to retrieve my signatures as images, back to one of the views for verification purposes. How do i do this?

Help is much appreciated!!
