To load a Picture
Using MyImage As Bitmap = Bitmap.FromFile("C:\Temp\MyImage.BMP")

Draw on it with
Using g as Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(MyImage)

and then use g.DrawLine, g.DrawString etc

Use .Save to save the image.

To read/write the image to a database, use a BLOB field, and the Stream
versions of .Save and .Load

Enrico,

See these samples, be aware that saving a image to an SQL column is terrible
slow.

http://www.vb-tips.com/DataSetImage.aspx

In version SQL server 2008 is made some extra to save the images to disk,
while virtual urls are placed to that in a column in the tables.

You can do that in a way of course as well in all SQL servers before 2008.
