Add VB.NET Image object to HTML - html

Question

I'm new in VB.NET and I create an object image Dim myimg As Image that contains an image generated with VB.NET and showing in a picture box.
I wanna add this image to HTML like this : Dim value$ = "<img src='myimg'>
"
Where value is used to replace tag in html file to show the picture generated in VB.NET
Is there a way to do this

Borrowing from this question and this article's helper class, you can do something like this:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Drawing.Imaging
Public Class ImageHelper
' Convert an image to a Base64 string by using a MemoryStream. Save the
' image to the MemoryStream and use Convert.ToBase64String to convert
' the content of that MemoryStream to a Base64 string.
Public Shared Function ImageToBase64String(ByVal image As Image, _
ByVal imageFormat As ImageFormat)
Using memStream As New MemoryStream
image.Save(memStream, imageFormat)
Dim result As String = Convert.ToBase64String(memStream.ToArray())
memStream.Close()
Return result
: End Using
End Function
' Convert a Base64 string back to an image. Fill a MemorySTream based
' on the Base64 string and call the Image.FromStream() methode to
' convert the content of the MemoryStream to an image.
Public Shared Function ImageFromBase64String(ByVal base64 As String)
Using memStream As New MemoryStream(Convert.FromBase64String(base64))
Dim result As Image = Image.FromStream(memStream)
memStream.Close()
Return result
End Using
End Function
End Class
Within a button:
Dim myImage As Image = Image.FromFile("C:\test.png")
Dim base64 As String = ImageHelper.ImageToBase64String(myImage, ImageFormat.Png)
WebBrowser1.DocumentText = "<img alt=""Embedded Image"" src=""data:image/png;base64," & base64 & """ />"
