I€™ve inherited a project from one of the guys on our team who will be out sick for a while. He developed two for marshaling data between System.Drawing.Image and System.Byte(). He€™s storing the byte array data in a database image field.
I€™ve retrieved the byte array data from his database image fields and have successfully converted them to images using his ConvertByteArrayToImage method below. I have also converted and image to a byte array with his ConvertImageToByteArray method below and succfully stored the data in a database image field. However, when I retrieve the byte array data that I stored in the database the last line in his ConvertByteArrayToImage method throws an exception (Parameter is not valid). I€™ve not been able to find a working copy of his code that€™s storing the byte array data. Does anyone see anything I€™m overlooking?
Imports System.Drawing Imports System.IO
Public Sub InsertImage(ByVal pFilename As String)
Try
Dim lImage As Image Dim lBA() As Byte Dim lSQL As String Dim lQuery As Alcon.SQLServer.Database.clsQuery Dim lParameters As New Alcon.SQLServer.Database.clsParameters
lImage = Image.FromFile(pFilename)
ConvertImageToByteArray(lImage, lBA)
' Initialization lQuery = New Alcon.SQLServer.Database.clsQuery(mConnection)

I need to insert into the database retrieve the id just added then upload the image renaming it in the format locID(QueryString)_ImageID(retrieved from database).jpg The page has a file upload control and a button.

I created a website a year ago. I remember I need to download something from Microsoft (some kind of sql admin thing), which allows me to convert my database in the Express Visual Web developer to sql file, then I can copy those sql commands into my web hosting company's sql admin window to upload the database online. I forgot what things I should download from Microsoft? Please help.
Okay, I am still really new at this so nobody laugh if this seems simple stupid. I created a little web page and while working on the project created a new database by right clicking on my app and clicking "Add New item" then choosing SQL Database. I added tables and everything was working just dandy on my machine. I FTP'd the files up to my web server and am now getting an error. SQL is installed on the server, but I have a couple of questions.1. Does SQL have to be installed on the server if you create one of these databases by doing the Add New Item button?2. After Uploading it to a server with SQL installed, the database shows in my App Data folder, but gives me an error. What needs done to move this database to the server besides uploading it?Here is my error:An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)

Thanks for you help.

I am creating a update, delete, edit form for my web database. The form works in everyway except that when I try to upload the image to the database it does not go into the database. (I know the pros and cons of storing images in a database. In this instance it is what makes the most since. ) I have to admit I have never uploaded anything to my server or database before (other than plain text). I have read through several articles and have a high level of understanding. I found an example on a website that used the OnInserting/OnUpdating command. But it is not working. I tried to find another similar example so that I could better understand it and try to fix what must be wrong. I can't find a similar example. I am posting the code I have below. Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi guys,I'm currently trying to insert image into my SQL db. I have tried a number of methods that were posted online, and so far with no luck.My current code reads: Dim conn As New Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection() conn.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("MainDBConnection").ToString conn.Open() Dim cmd As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("SP_SAVEImage", conn) cmd.CommandType = Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure Dim nUserID As New Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@nUserID", Data.SqlDbType.Int) nUserID.Value = "1" Dim nAlbumID As New Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@nAlbumID", Data.SqlDbType.Int) nAlbumID.Value = "1" Dim sDescription As New Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@sDescription", Data.SqlDbType.VarChar, 50) sDescription.Value = "image1" Dim sImageName As New Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@sImageName", Data.SqlDbType.VarChar, 50) sImageName.Value = sImageName Dim sImageType As New Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@sImageType", Data.SqlDbType.VarChar, 50) sImageType.Value = fileType Dim sImageData As New Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@sImageData", Data.SqlDbType.Image, uploadedFile.Length) sImageData.Value = uploadedFile cmd.Parameters.Add(nUserID) cmd.Parameters.Add(nAlbumID) cmd.Parameters.Add(sDescription) cmd.Parameters.Add(sImageName) cmd.Parameters.Add(sImageType) cmd.Parameters.Add(sImageData) Dim reader1 As Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader reader1 = cmd.ExecuteReaderRunning through debug, everything runs up until the last line, where an error is caught saying : Failed to convert parameter value from a SqlParameter to a String I reckon it's to do with the input sImageData being input as a byte array - but I can't seem to find a way around it. Any help greatly appreciated!!

I have a database on my local system and I use Sql Server 2005 express. Now I need to upload the database in the hosting server. I have tried Management Studio Express.
I am a newbie with SQL Server and need some advice. I have developed a small database with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express on my local computer. I am using it in conjunction with SQL Server Management Studio Express. Now I want to upload it to an online web host. What is the best way to upload? Do I use replication or some other means? Can I do so with Management Studio Express? My web host has an administration Console which does not seem to work with the database, and their support service is very slow. So I do not know what to do.
