Normally, this error occurs because you what you have saved in the database is not a valid image - so when you retrieve the information the Image.FromStream throws an exception because it cannot recognise it.

Check your loading code: the normal mistakes are not to convert the Image into a bytes array before saving it or building an INSERT statement by concatenating strings, which tends to insert the string "System.Drawing.Image" in the database instead of the image data.
