Unable to Display Image from database at runtime

Hi everyone,

Here is code working on..Trying to insert record with a column with Image
or VarBinary datatype in sql database from a existing jpeg image file, then
retrieve this image from database and display it in a Image web control
dynamically(at runtime).

The process after being displayed in the web control, user click insert/add
button, it converts the image(jpeg) file to bytes[] and store it the database
with Image or VarBinary Datatype. While in retrieval, I get the specific
record, store the Image or VarBinary Data in local byte[] variable, and then
convert this to a image (jpeg) file and used the filepath to display file.

The problem still unable to display image and create image file.

Code: 
//Get Image Record Stored and display them
    private void GetImageRecord()
    {
        if (CheckFields(2))
        {
            string sqlText = "Select * From PictureImages Where ImageName = 
@ImgName";
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sqlText, conn);
            cmd.Parameters.Add("@ImgName", SqlDbType.VarChar, 20,

Hi Den,

just wanted to know why you store the images as such in the database.

I believe, it is recommended to save images in file system and store the
filepaths in database rather than storing the entire image in database.

Augustin,
That's the requirement what I am doing right now.

Winista,
Thanks for the link, but I am seen this approach, I am looking for
approach that converts stored sql binary/image datatype data back to an image
(jpeg) file.
