Save image from picture box to database sqlserver

1. create table in database

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tbl_Image_Data] (

        [ID] [int] NOT NULL ,

        [Name] [varchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,

        [Picture] [image] NULL

) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]

2. add picturebox and name it pb and two buttons "browse" and "save"

3. First of all browse image from computer to pictureBox

private void btnBrowse_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            Stream myStream = null;

           

                OpenFileDialog openFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();

               // openFileDialog.InitialDirectory = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal);

                openFileDialog.Filter = "Image Files(*.jpg; *.jpeg; *.bmp)|*.jpg; *.jpeg; *.bmp";

                if (openFileDialog.ShowDialog(this) == DialogResult.OK)

                {

                    try

                    {

                        if ((myStream = openFileDialog.OpenFile()) != null)

                        {

                            string FileName = openFileDialog.FileName;

                            txtImagepath.Text = FileName;

                            if (myStream.Length > 512000)

                            {

                                MessageBox.Show("File size limit exceed");

                            }

                            else

                            {

                                //pb is my pictureBox name load image in pb

                                pb.Load(FileName);

                             

                                //stretch image to fit in picturebox

                                pb.SizeMode = System.Windows.Forms.PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage;

                            }

                            //MessageBox.Show(myStream.Length.ToString());

                        }

                    }

                    catch (Exception ex)

                    {

                        MessageBox.Show("Error: Could not read file from disk. error: " + ex.Message);

                    }

                }

             

               

        }

2.save this to sql server

private void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

 {

    MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();

                        pb.Image.Save(stream, ImageFormat.Jpeg);

                        byte[] pic = stream.ToArray();

                      byte_Img=pic;

                }

            try

            {

                this.sqlConnection1.Open();

                if (sqlCommand1.Parameters.Count == 0)

                {

                    this.sqlCommand1.CommandText = "INSERT INTO tbl_Image_Data(ID," +

                                   " Name,Picture) values(@ID,@Name,@Picture)";

                    this.sqlCommand1.Parameters.Add("@ID",

                                     System.Data.SqlDbType.Int, 4);

                    this.sqlCommand1.Parameters.Add("@Name",

                                     System.Data.SqlDbType.VarChar, 50);

                    this.sqlCommand1.Parameters.Add("@Picture",

                                     System.Data.SqlDbType.Image);

                }

                this.sqlCommand1.Parameters["@ID"].Value = this.ID.Text;

                this.sqlCommand1.Parameters["@Name"].Value = this.Name.Text;

                this.sqlCommand1.Parameters["@Picture"].Value = this.byte_Img;

                int result = this.sqlCommand1.ExecuteNonQuery();

                MessageBox.Show(Convert.ToString(result));

            }

            catch (Exception ex)

            {

                MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);

            }

            finally

            {

                this.sqlConnection1.Close();

            }

  }
