Thta is because image is for storing a large quantity of binary data: the Image data itself.
If you want to store filename, then either convert it to a byte array:

C#

string s = " C:\\Users\\mydocument\\pic";
byte[] bytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(s);

or change the datatype in your database to a string type: NVARCHAR for example.

Rather than storing the image itself in the database, try storing just the path of the image and then when you want to use the image in your app, you can just retrieve the path and load it from the your disk. Its a much simpler approach with no extra conversions and manipulations to take care of.
