Help with Image in C#

[Craigm]

Hi,

I am looking for a way to insert a jpeg image into a mysql database,retrive it and then display it in a form using C#. Could someone please help me?
Thanks

Using System.io;
//insert image into the database

string strFn = "";
strFn = this.openFileDialog.FileName;
pictureBox.Image = Image.FromFile(strFn);
FileInfo fiImage = new FileInfo(strFn);

imageLength = fiImage.Length;
FileStream fs = new FileStream(strFn, FileMode.Open,
FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read);
picture = new byte[Convert.ToInt32(this.imageLength)];
fs.Read(picture, 0, Convert.ToInt32(this.imageLength));
fs.Close();


to view the image

//tha variable picture is used to transfer the data from database into byte
//the datatype of variable picture is byte
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(picture);

For storing image files ,you need to convert it to byte codes
