I assume that when you save the file in the database, you are saving a path to the file?
The problem is that that's a local path - it's specific to to computer you are trying to save from, and it won't be available on other computers - it's like expecting a file on a USB stick plugged into my computer to be available on yours!

There really isn't a good solution to this: you need to work out a "common" location that all the computers you expect to be using the images can access, and that they all have read and write permissions to a share.
Alternatively, store them in the DB as an SMB path:

file:\\TheNameOfThePC\TheNameOfTheShare\Images\TheNameOfTheFile.jpg

and make sure that everybody has the right permissions on all of the shares.

Solution 2

Whenever you are assigning path for image in window application give path like "

C#

Application.Startuppath

" or "

C#

Application.Executablepath

"(image image folder is at .exe level). this is the best practice.

Please check.

string filename = Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "Image", ppath);

but generate error.
