After 5-6 hours of searching forums and blogs and all that I like ... to save the image in the database
1- data type must be an image in the database
Now add this code when saving the image to sql database
OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
imageFilename = OpenFileDialog1.FileName
Dim imageUpload As Image
imageUpload = Image.FromFile(OpenFileDialog1.FileName)
If imageFilename <> "" Then
Dim imageNameTemp As String
imageNameTemp = imageFilename
While (imageNameTemp.Contains("\"))
imageNameTemp = imageNameTemp.Remove(0, imageNameTemp.IndexOf("\") + 1)
End While
Dim ms As New IO.MemoryStream
If imageFilename.Contains("jpeg") Or imageFilename.Contains("jpg") Then
imageUpload.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)
End If
If imageFilename.Contains("png") Then
imageUpload.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png)
End If
If imageFilename.Contains("gif") Then
imageUpload.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif)
End If
If imageFilename.Contains("bmp") Then
imageUpload.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp)
End If
'Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("INSERT INTO projectimages (imagename,imagedate,csvprojectref) VALUES ('" + imageFilename + "',@BLOBData,CHECKSUM('" + textboxFileRef.Text + "'))", con)
Dim b() As Byte = ms.ToArray()
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("INSERT INTO projectimages (imagename,imagedate,csvprojectref) VALUES ('" + imageNameTemp + "',@BLOBData,CHECKSUM('" + textboxFileRef.Text + "'))", con)
cmd.Parameters.Add("@BLOBData", SqlDbType.Image, b.Length).Value = b
' Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("insert projectimages(imagename,imagedate,csvprojectref) values('imagma','" + img + "',CHECKSUM('" + textboxFileRef.Text + "'))", con)
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
' cmdTemp.Parameters.Add("@photo", SqlDbType.Image, b.Length).Value = b
End If
And when to retrieve the data to insert into the image field, use this code ...
cmd.CommandText = "select imagedate from projectimages where imagename = '" + ListBox1.Text + "' and CSVprojectref=checksum('" + textboxFileRef.Text + "')"
cmd.Connection = con
Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter(cmd)
Dim ds As New DataSet()
da.Fill(ds, "projectimages")
Dim c As Integer = ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count
If c > 0 Then
Dim bytBLOBData() As Byte = _
ds.Tables(0).Rows(c - 1)("imagedate")
Dim stmBLOBData As New MemoryStream(bytBLOBData)
PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromStream(stmBLOBData)
End If
