hi,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, write these code: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.Data.SqlClient; using System.IO; namespace StoreImagesInSQLServer { public partial class frmNewImage : Form { public frmNewImage() { InitializeComponent(); } private void cmdSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { try { //Read Image Bytes into a byte array byte[] imageData = ReadFile(txtImagePath.Text); //Initialize SQL Server Connection SqlConnection CN = new SqlConnection(txtConnectionString.Text); //Set insert query string qry = "insert into ImagesStore (OriginalPath,ImageData) values(@OriginalPath, @ImageData)"; //Initialize SqlCommand object for insert. SqlCommand SqlCom = new SqlCommand(qry, CN); //We are passing Original Image Path and Image byte data as sql parameters. SqlCom.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@OriginalPath", (object)txtImagePath.Text)); SqlCom.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@ImageData", (object)imageData)); //Open connection and execute insert query. CN.Open(); SqlCom.ExecuteNonQuery(); CN.Close(); //Close form and return to list or images. this.Close(); } catch(Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString()); } } private void cmdBrowse_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { //Ask user to select file. OpenFileDialog dlg = new OpenFileDialog(); DialogResult dlgRes = dlg.ShowDialog(); if (dlgRes != DialogResult.Cancel) { //Set image in picture box pictureBox1.ImageLocation = dlg.FileName; //Provide file path in txtImagePath text box. txtImagePath.Text = dlg.FileName; } } //Open file in to a filestream and read data in a byte array. byte[] ReadFile(string sPath) { //Initialize byte array with a null value initially. byte[] data = null; //Use FileInfo object to get file size. FileInfo fInfo = new FileInfo(sPath); long numBytes = fInfo.Length; //Open FileStream to read file FileStream fStream = new FileStream(sPath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read); //Use BinaryReader to read file stream into byte array. BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(fStream); //When you use BinaryReader, you need to supply number of bytes to read from file. //In this case we want to read entire file. So supplying total number of bytes. data = br.ReadBytes((int)numBytes); return data; } private void cmdCancel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { //Close this form if user clicks cancel. this.Close(); } private void frmNewImage_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { } } } i hope your problem best solution.
