If you wanna store the image file in web server and save the image path in Db you can prefer this link

Its better to store the images in web server instead of SQL server and save the file path in table column, if you are handling more number of images,
in case of less number of images you can save the image object in the SQL Server.

Make the field datatype of your SQL table as Binary because your going to store large file i.e. BLOB (Binary Large Object)

thank you friends i solved it.

there is datatype varbinary just use it and make one folder in your applicaton
take fileupload control from toolbox

if (FileUpload2.HasFile)
{
FileUpload2.SaveAs(Server.MapPath(~/images/) + FileUpload2.FileName);
profile_image.ImageUrl = ~/images/ + FileUpload2.FileName;
imagename.Text = FileUpload2.FileName;

}


on gridview just take this image name from database and image from folder

its solved!
