i am successfully storing images into database by converting images into bytes.

SqlCommand cmdSelect=new SqlCommand("select Picture from tblImgData where ID=@ID",this.sqlConnection1);
cmdSelect.Parameters.Add("@ID",SqlDbType.Int,4);
cmdSelect.Parameters["@ID"].Value=this.editID.Text;
this.sqlConnection1.Open();byte[] barrImg=(byte[])cmdSelect.ExecuteScalar();
string strfn=Convert.ToString(DateTime.Now.ToFileTime());
FileStream fs=new FileStream(strfn,FileMode.CreateNew,FileAccess.Write);
fs.Write(barrImg,0,barrImg.Length);
fs.Flush();
fs.Close();
pictureBox1.Image=Image.ఫ్రం
File(strfn);
