[rajmca]

I STORED MULTIPLE IMAGES IN MY SQL SERVER 2005. NOW I WANT TO RETRIEVE PARTICULAR CATEGORY OF IMAGES INTO MULTIPLE PICTUREBOX AT RUNTIME IN C# WINDOWS APPLICATION. i used the following code in my final result form at form_Load using c# windows apps.. But it displays only one picture at run time pls help to me...

 
 
 
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=ttt-PC;Initial Catalog=Query_Image;Integrated Security=True");
            SqlCommand cmdnew = new SqlCommand("select pic from Image_Category where IMG_Cat='" + searchvalue.ToString() + "'", con);
            con.Open();
          //  SqlDataReader dr = cmdnew.ExecuteReader();
            SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmdnew);
            DataSet ds = new DataSet("Image_Category");
            byte[] mydata = new byte[0];
            da.Fill(ds, "Image_Category");
            DataRow myrow;
            //if (dr.HasRows)
            //{
            //    while (dr.Read())
            //    {
 
            for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
 
            // while (i <= dt.Rows.Count)
 
            {
 
                myrow= ds.Tables["Image_Category"].Rows[i];
                mydata = (byte[])ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["pic"];
                str[i]=new MemoryStream(mydata);
 
                pbx[i]=new PictureBox();
                 pbx[i].Size = new Size(150, 150);
                 pbx[i].SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage;
                pbx[i].BackgroundImage = Image.FromStream(str[i]);
                 pbx[i].Visible = true;
                 //this.Controls.Add(pbx[i]);
                }
 

PLEASE TELL IS IT ANY WRONG WITH THIS CODE?
OR SUGGEST NEW CODE TO ME PLEASE..

Hey rajmca, your code is right but you forgot to use the PictureBox location property. So by default all the PictureBoxes uses same location (One above one). So that only you're seeing only one PictureBox (the PictureBox which created atlast) at runtime. Include these lines and try,

// Above for loop
 
int x = 10;
int y = 10;
 
// Inside for loop
 
pbx[i].Location = new Point(x, y);
x += pbx[i].Location.X + pbx[i].Width;

And one more thing is you've to use Image property not BackgroundImage property in line #31 in your code.

//pbx[i].BackgroundImage = Image.FromStream(str[i]); // Instead of this line use the following line.
pbx[i].Image = Image.FromStream(str[i]);

Dim image As Byte() = DirectCast(comm and.ExecuteScal ar(), Byte())
stream.Write(im age, 0, image.Length)


you can retreve each image and put it into bitmap.
