You can't type a name into a byte array based field - that is a string, which doesn't have a direct (default) conversion.
If you are trying to store the path to an image in your DB, then your want a NVARCHAR field rather than IMAGE - and you will have to look to your display table to work out how to display the actual image.

We can't tell you that bit - we have no idea what environment you are working!
