Your error is self explanatory. You are trying to read some int value (may be int column) into byte array.

Use column name while reading value

Without seeing your code, we can't tell exactly what problem you are having.
Post the code fragment that accesses the database, and indicate where it throws the error.

here's the code:
byte[]b1=new byte[0];
b1=(Byte[])ds.Tables[0].Rows[i][52];
MemoryStream ms=new MemoryStream(b1);
ms.Read(b1,0,Convert.ToInt32(ms.Length));
ds.Tables[0].Rows[i][52]=b1;
emp_pic.Image=Image.FromStream(ms);//at this point error is shown as:Parameter is not valid.
empPic.SizeMose=System.WindowsForms.PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage;
ms.close():

Instead of ds.Tables[0] ,i also tried ds.Tables["employee"].bt result was same..

And how do you load the table?
