I have a column named "PictureIma ge" in a SQL database defined as
datatype=image. It has a Bitmap picture in it. (I verified the type by
creating an Access project and a looking at the data, which access reports
as "Bitmap Image".)
In my VB.NET app I use the following code:
Dim bytBLOBData() As Byte =
Me.datasetProdu ct.Tables("Prod uct").Rows(0)(" PictureImage")
Dim stmBLOBData As New MemoryStream(by tBLOBData)
Me.pictureProdu ct.Image = Image.FromStrea m(stmBLOBData)
The last line of code (image.fromstre am) always produces an Invalid
Parameter error.
Does anyone have any working samples of similar code. I've done a Google
search and see that other folks have similar errors, but no solutions.

Hi,
Here is a quick example. Loads the northwind databases category
names into a listbox (listbox1) and displays the image in a picture box
(picturebox1).
Dim ds As DataSet
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVa l sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim strConn As String
Dim conn As SqlClient.SqlCo nnection
Dim daCustomer As SqlClient.SqlDa taAdapter
ds = New DataSet
' strConn = "Provider = Microsoft.Jet.O LEDB.4.0;"
'strConn &= "Data Source = Northwind.mdb;"
strConn = "Server = " + Environment.Mac hineName + "\VSdotNet; "
strConn &= "Database = NorthWind;"
strConn &= "Integrated Security = SSPI;"
conn = New SqlClient.SqlCo nnection(strCon n)
daCustomer = New SqlClient.SqlDa taAdapter("Sele ct * from Categories", conn)
ds = New DataSet
daCustomer.Fill (ds, "Categories ")
ListBox1.DataSo urce = ds.Tables("Cate gories")
ListBox1.Displa yMember = "CategoryNa me"
End Sub
Private Sub ListBox1_Select edValueChanged( ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles ListBox1.Select edValueChanged
Dim dr As DataRow = ds.Tables("Cate gories").Rows(L istBox1.Selecte dIndex)
Dim ms As New System.IO.Memor yStream
Dim bm As Bitmap
Dim arData() As Byte = dr.Item("Pictur e")
ms.Write(arData , 78, arData.Length - 78)
bm = New Bitmap(ms)
PictureBox1.Ima ge = bm
End Sub

Looks like the key here is that you are dropping the first 78 bytes of the
image retrieved from the image that Access stored and creating the image
from that data.
After I left the note I realized that even though I was using a SQL Server
to store the data and Access was pointing to that database, that Access was
adding an OLE wrapper around the image and then storing it. The VB.net code
didn't know about that and rejected the image. Your trick would have worked
, I think.
But what I did was implement a paste from clipboard function in the picture
box and the ability to save the picture box image to the database, all in
the VB.NET code. Now I don't rely on Access to add the pictures to the
database. Images that I save this way work fine with the original code.
And I don't have to worry about those pesky 78 bytes!
Thanks though!

Thanks all!
Is it possible to tell when to drop the 78 bytes and when NOT to? Is there
any way to determine at run time if a particular image does or does not have
the extra 78 bytes from the OLE wrapper?

In my opinion is nothing wrong with the sample from Gary, except when
there is an Object Linked Embeded image used.
Your samples are not different than his code. While Ken's shows an sample wiht the offset that Gary can use. (The offset is as well in your second sample, however not is told why and what).
Just as attention for the next time.
Cor
Gary,
As I remember me, can you see that in the byte Array, however I have not
documented that.
Just debug and see what is it in the quickwatch.
Cor
Cor,
Unfortunately I converted all of my images to the non-OLE form and don't
have an instance of Northwind installed.
If you'd be so kind as to capture the first 78 bytes for me I'll try to
dissect it. (Ideally from two or three images so I can compare.)
Thanks,
Gary

Thank you. Thank you! THANK YOU!
That does help. I need to compare against the non ole images but it looks
like it should be pretty easy to determine if the OLE wrapper is there by
looking for "Bitmap Image.Paint.Pic ture" in the first 78 bytes.
I'm going to look around and see if I can find any more info on the format
of this OLE wrapper to see if there might be other such strings to test for.
Something in the pit of my stomach tells me there just might be!
