you can store the physical address of the image into database and while load in a page set this image to image and show it

field of type IMAGE
<PRE lang=sql>CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblImgData] (
[ID] [int] NOT NULL ,
[Name] [varchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[Picture] [image] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]</PRE>
Actually IMAGE field is just holding the reference to the page containing the binary data so we have to convert our image into bytes.
I used a file open dialog box to locate the file.
this.openFileDialog1.ShowDialog(this);
string strFn=this.openFileDialog1.FileName;
By using FileInfo class, I retrieved the file size:
FileInfo fiImage=new FileInfo(strFn);
Declare an array of that size.
this.m_lImageFileLength=fiImage.Length;
m_barrImg=new byte[Convert.ToInt32(this.m_lImageFileLength)];
By using FileStream object, I filled the byte array.
FileStream fs=new FileStream(strFn,FileMode.Open,
FileAccess.Read,FileShare.Read);
int iBytesRead=fs.Read(m_barrImg,0,
Convert.ToInt32(this.m_lImageFileLength));
fs.Close();
