Is there any exception with this code?

nvarchar is incompatible with varBinary(max)

DBNull should work. What is the exact error? Is staff_photo not nullable by any chance?

Solution 3

nvarchar is incompatible with varBinary(max)

Then try this,

cmd.Parameters.Add("@staff_photo", System.Data.SqlDbType.VarBinary).Value = DBNull.Value;

And as I said in comment, it must be nullable.

Solution 1

Just Allow null in Database Schema and thats all. After that if you dont provide any value it will autometically treat as a null value.
