You have a good start since you already loop through the images. Now inside the loop, save each image using an INSERT statement. In pseudo code

create sql connection
create sql command for insert
for each image
   set bind variables for the command 
   execute the command

For storing images in SQL Server you have basically two options, either varbinary field or filestream. For using these fields, have a look at How to store and fetch binary data into a file stream column[^]

In general, when executing the statements you should use using blocks along with transaction and so on. For guidelines, refer to Properly executing database operations[^]

Solution 1

Add some code in your Button_Click event to create a SQL Insert command to send the data to your database. Since we have no idea where this data is held, what form it is in, or the structure of your database, that's about the best suggestion I can come up with.
