Hi,
In my aspx page, I have a photo uploader using this uploader I upload images. I have to store this image into DB(SqlServer 2008) in a varbinary column. I read all bytes from that image and store in a byte array. If i try to insert this byte array in to DB table i will get an error. How can I insert this byte array in to DB using SQL query " Insert into ..................."

Thanks,
Velkumar

I want to insert without using sql parameters. For eg: " Insert into table1(Imageid,ImageData) values(imgID, imgdata) ". here imgdata is a byte array type variable.

Hi Velkumar Kannan, Could you pls tell me how to insert without using sql parameters? I do need that solution, thanks so much.
Use a parametrized query (you should be anyway to avoid SQL Injection attacks). This code inserts the Thumbnail image as a byte array:
C#
using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(GenericData.DBConnection))
    {
    con.Open();
    byte[] bytes = Thumbnail.ToByteArray()
    using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO Images (Id, Location, Thumbnail) VALUES (@ID, @DS, @TN)", con))
        {
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ID", Id);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@DS", Location);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@TN", bytes);
        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        }
    }</pre>

You can't, without converting it to a very, very long text string (base64 for example). If you want it stored as bytes, you need to use parameters. If you aren't using them anyway, then you are leaving your database wide open to accidental or deliberate damage.
