1.You do not need to use SqldataAdapter for reading image from database, you should use SqlCommand instead like in the next example:

C#

IDataReader reader = null;
byte[] imageData = null;
            //
            try
            {
                IDbCommand dbCommand = new SqlCommand(); 
                dbCommand.Connection = con;
                dbCommand.CommandText = string.Format("select photo from tbl_image where id=1);
                //
                reader = dbCommand.ExecuteReader();
                //
                if (reader.Read())
                {
                    imageData = (byte[])reader["photo"];
                }
            }
            finally
            {
                if (reader != null)
                    reader.Close();
                //
                con.Close();
            }

2.Then you should use this data similar like you did:

C#

if(imageData != null)
{
  MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(imageData);
  pictureBox1.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(ms);
}
