Okay... what is a "picture route"? "show them"? What is "them"? What have you tried for yourself? Have you done any research at all?

Hello, I did it by myself with the help of a friend, thanks all of you for the help, here is the code to save the path to the database:

C#

if (file != null && file.ContentLength > 0)
{
    // extract only the fielname
    var fileName = Path.GetFileName(file.FileName);
    // store the file inside ~/App_Data/uploads folder
    var path = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/uploads"), fileName); 
    image.Picture = fileName;
}

and to return the file and show it to the view this one:

C#

var path = ControllerContext.HttpContext.Server.MapPath("/");
if (System.IO.File.Exists(Path.Combine(path, file)))
{
   return File(Path.Combine(path, file), "image/jpeg");
}
return new HttpNotFoundResult();
