HI SERGEY
I am reading the image from database and writing in Local D Drive and from the D Drive i am assigning the image to my picture box. In my User pc it is showing error as The Directory name is invalid.

Why loading it anywhere?! You should read it into memory, which is only needed to show it on screen.
At least use a valid directory.

Solution 2

Your computer has a D drive. The other computer has no D drive. Crash.
Solution: if you have to write the picture to a file on disk first, use an existing folder for that. An example is System.IO.Path.GetTempPath(). Do not forget to clean up afterwards.
