How to save image in database using C

Question

I want to save user image into a database in C   How do I do that

User · Answer

I think this valid question is already answered here. I have tried it as well. My issue was simply using picture edit (from DevExpress). and this is how I got around it:

Change the PictureEdit's "PictureStoreMode" property to ByteArray: it is currently set to "default"
convert the control's edit value to bye: byte[] newImg = (byte[])pictureEdit1.EditValue;
save the image: this.tbSystemTableAdapter.qry_updateIMGtest(newImg);

Thank you again. Chagbert

You ll want to convert the image to a byte   in C   and then you ll have the database column as varbinary MAX   After that  it s just like saving any other data type

This is a method that uses a FileUpload control in asp net   byte   buffer   new byte fu FileContent Length   Stream s   fu FileContent  s Read buffer  0  buffer Length     Then save  buffer  to the varbinary column in your db where you want to store the image

Since you are using SQL  would recommend against using adhoc   writing statements in strings    especially given that you are loading an image   ADO NET can do all of the hard work of mapping  escaping etc for you   Either create a Stored Procedure  or use SqlParameter to do the binding   As the other posters say  use VARBINARY MAX  as your storage type - IMAGE is being depracated

Try this method  It should work when field when you want to store image is of type byte  First it creates byte   for image  Then it saves it to the DB using IDataParameter of type binary   using System Drawing  using System Drawing Imaging  using System Data       public static void PerisitImage string path  IDbConnection connection                using  var command   connection CreateCommand                           Image img   Image FromFile  path               MemoryStream tmpStream   new MemoryStream                img Save  tmpStream  ImageFormat Png      change to other format             tmpStream Seek  0  SeekOrigin Begin               byte   imgBytes   new byte MAX IMG SIZE               tmpStream Read  imgBytes  0  MAX IMG SIZE                command CommandText    INSERT INTO images payload  VALUES   payload                IDataParameter par   command CreateParameter                par ParameterName    payload               par DbType   DbType Binary              par Value   imgBytes              command Parameters Add par               command ExecuteNonQuery

you can save the path of the image in the database or save the image itself as a BLOB   binary - array of bytes   it depends on the case you got if your application is a web application then saving the path of the image is much better but if you got a client based application that connects to a centralized database then you must save it as binary

My personal preference is not to save the images to a database as such  Save the image somewhere in the file system and save a reference in the database

You ll need to serialize the image to a binary format that can be stored in a SQL BLOB column   Assuming you re using SQL Server  here is a good article on the subject   http   www eggheadcafe com articles 20020929 asp
