Ok, again, I'm reasonably new to this. I've been trying to display an image stored in SQL in a ASP.NET page. Pretty simple stuff I would have thought. I've read countless examples of how to do this online, and many of them use the same method of displaying the image, but none seem to work for me. The problem seems to lie in the following line of code: Dim imageData As Byte() = CByte(command.ExecuteScalar())Which always returns the error: Value of type 'Byte' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of Byte'.Here's the rest of my code, hope someone can help. It's doing my head in! Imports System.Data.SqlClient Imports System.Data Imports System.Drawing Imports System.IOPartial Class _ProfileEditor Inherits System.Web.UI.PageProtected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load 'Get the UserID of the currently logged on user Dim NTUserID As String = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name.ToString Session("UserID") = NTUserID Dim Photo As Image = NothingDim connection As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("MyConnectionString").ConnectionString) Dim command As SqlCommand = connection.CreateCommand() command.CommandText = "SELECT Photograph, ImageType FROM Users WHERE UserID = @UserID"command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@UserID", NTUserID) connection.Open()Dim imageData As Byte() = CByte(command.ExecuteScalar())Dim memStream As New MemoryStream(Buffer) Photo = Image.FromStream(memStream) End Sub End Class
Dear Friends, I have read many solution over the net, but since I am unable to utilize anyone according to my needs I am seeking help from you people. I have a table imagedata in sql server 2005 having fields name and imageperson. Name is string and imageperson is Image field. I have successfully stored name of the person and his image in database. I have populated the dataset from codebehind and bind it to the repeater. By writing <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "name")%>I am a able to retrieve the name of the person. But when I pass photodata as <%#photogen((DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "imageperson")))%> where photogen is function in code behind having structure public void photogen(byte[] dataretrieved) { Response.BinaryWrite(datarerieved) } But it is giving error at <%#photogen((DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "imageperson")))%> The best overloaded method match for '_Default.photogen(byte[])' has some invalid arguments AND Cannot convert object to byte[]. Can anyone please provide me working solution with code for aspx page and code behind. Thanks and regards
I have a SQL database that has Images stored. I am able to read the image from the database and display it. But i am not able to control the size and the position where it is displayed. I want to develop something like a photo album. the images should be displayed in a smaller size. but when the user clicks on the image, it should blow up to its original size. I am struggling with this for some time. Any suggestions as how to develop it??. Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
I seem to be getting very annoying behaviour from SQL Server and was wondering what the correct method should be...I want to store some binary data in the database and I want to use a stored procedure. I also want to pass some XML to the stored procedure where this XML contains the binary data. I will then use OPENXML to grab the binary data and stick in the table. In order to ensure the safe transmission of the binary through XML I Base64 encode it. Ok so far. The problem is that although OPENXML is supposed to assume that anything marked as Image/Binary will be Base64 encoded it then proceeds to Base64 encode it again and put that result into the database! So what am I missing, am I supposed use a CDATA section or something rather than Base64 encode my XML?
I have an employee directory application that displays employees in a gridview. When a record is selected, a new page opens and displays all info about the employee, including their photo. I have the code working that displays the photos, however, when no photo is present an exception is thrown that "Unable to cast object of type System.DbNull to System.Byte[]". I'm not sure how to test for no photo before trying to write it out. My code is as follows (with no error trapping): Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load, Me.Load Dim temp As String Dim connPhoto As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection Dim connstring As Stringconnstring = Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("connPhoto").ConnectionString connPhoto = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connstring)temp = Request.QueryString("id") Dim SqlSelectCommand2 As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand Dim sqlstring As String sqlstring = "Select * from dbo.PhotoDir WHERE (CMS_ID = " + temp + ")"SqlSelectCommand2 = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(sqlstring, connPhoto) Try connPhoto.Open()Dim myDataReader As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader myDataReader = SqlSelectCommand2.ExecuteReader Do While (myDataReader.Read()) Response.BinaryWrite(myDataReader.Item("ImportedPhoto")) Loop connPhoto.Close()Catch SQLexec As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException Response.Write("Read Failed : " & SQLexec.ToString()) End TryEnd Sub End Class
I am using FileUpload control in ASP.net 2.0 to upload files and store them into SQL server database as an image. I am fine with MS office files, image files and etc. We have Product Center (Proe) engineering software to configure parts and the files generated through this software have PLT extension when I store these files, the file type is Plian/text. I am using Fileupload.PostedFile.Content to get the file type. How can I store PLT, TIF files in SQL server? Please help.
I have a table that contains the following two columns:BITS (image(16))BIT_LENGTH (int(4))When I look at the table, I see "OLE Object" in the BITS column. Whatsyntax should I use in a SELECT statement to convert the binary imageinfo contained in "BITS" into simple text that I can read? What roledoes the BIT_LENGTH field play?
As part of a web site I allow users to store documents in SQL Server 2000 using an Image column on a table. After the file is saved the user can open the document through the browser. This works great for most file extensions such as ".XLS" or ".DOC" but fails when attempting to open ".MSG" files (saved outlook messages). XLS documents will open in Excel and DOC documents open in Word, but MSG documents open in Notepad and display what appears to be binary data. I'm trying to figure out if this is a SQL Server issue or some sort of ASP/ASP.NET webserver issue.
If I attempt to open an MSG file stored directly on the web server, the file opens correctly using the "Microsoft Outlook View Control", but when attempting to open the same file saved in SQL Server, it attempts to open in notepad.
Hi When images are uploaded and stored directly into a sql database as binary data (eg in the club starter kit) how can those images be accessed and displayed. When I open the images table in VWD and select display data, the cells holding the image data hold a <binary data> tag. What I want to be able to do is get at that data, or actually get at the image so that it is displayed. My reason is this, at the moment the only way to access the images in the sql database after they have been uploaded is to log into the website and view them as an administrator of the site. It would be much simpler if I could access the database directly and view the contents of the images table. Any ideas? Thanks
Hi All, I am not sure whether this is the right place to post this question. But I am unable to figure out what is the best solution to retrieve and display an image in a html file(stored in varbinary(max) column). I have a list of images in the file and I am supposed to display them. Can anybody please let me know what is the best way to do this? Thanks a lot!!

I have a table with 10 rows with a varbinary column
I wish to concatenate all the binary column into a single binary column and then write that to another table within the database. This application splits a binary file (Word or PDF document) into multiple segments (this is Column2 as below)
I'm using a bit-wise comparison to effectively store multiple values in one column. However once the number of values increases it starts to become too big for a int data type.you also cannot perform a bitwise & on two binary datatypes. Is there a better way to store the binary data rather than int or binary?
I am using the 3-tiered architecture design (presentation, business laws, and data acess layers). I am stuck on how to send the image the user selects in the upload file control to the BLL and then to the DAL because the DAL does all the inserts into the database. I would like to be able to check the file type in the BLL to make sure the file being uploaded is indeed a picture. Is there a way I can send the location of the file to the BLL, check the filetype, then upload the file and have the DAL insert the image into the database? I have seen examples where people use streams to upload the file directly from their presentation layer, but I would like to keep everything seperated in the three classes if possible. I also wasn't sure what variable type the image would be in the function in the BLL that receive the image from the PL. If there are any examples or tips anyone can give me that would be appreciated.
Hay Friend's Can u plese send me the way how to save image in sql server and display that images in datagrid or other control also like Image control or Image control Button?? Plese send the coding in C#. Thank's Amit

'Dim conn As New SqlConnection
'Dim drr As SqlDataReader
'Dim image As System.Drawing.Image
'sel2 = "select * from attach where att_desc = '" & DropDownList1.SelectedItem().Text & "' and doc_code = " & w_doc_code & " and subcode = " & w_doc_subcode & " and doc_num= " & w_doc_num & " "
I have learned lots of informative thing from your forums. I have little problem regarding “Display image from SQL Server on ASP.NET� I have done it and image display on my page from SQL Server. I have cleared you here I have adopt two different methods which are following for displaying picture.
but in both above methods I have faced little problem when image display on my page all other information can not display and I also want to display picture on my specific location on the page. My second question is can use any web control like “Image1� to display image from SQL Server where my pictures are stored.

In my asp.net application I have a local report with an image control in thedetail row of the table and the Value attribute set as="File://" & Fields!FQPhotoFileName.ValueThe first row in the table always shows the wrong image and it's always thesame wrong image. The problem is there even when I change the sort order orthe criteria for the underlying dataset. For example, I ran a small testthat populated the dataset with 2 rows and 2 images. When I sort by anycolumn (e.g. ID) in ascending ascending order the ID=1 row (the 1st row)shows the wrong image and the ID=2 row shows the correct image. When I rerunthe report sorting in descending order the ID=2 row (which is now the 1strow) shows the wrong image and the ID=1 shows the correct image.Any suggestions?
