Image in GridView becomes "System.Byte[]"

[Q_Quek]

Hi, I try to use gridview with objectdatasource to obtain the images from the sql database. Within the database, a datafield is declare as "image" datatype. Now in my gridview, it doesn't show me the image instead of showing me a text "System.Byte[]" May I know how to solve it. What column I should use for the image? ImageField, TemplateField, Bound Field? Please help me!!! Calvin ****

This problem is converting Image to string, I will send example verify that, Byte[] blob = null; blob = new Byte[(dr.GetBytes(0, 0, null, 0, int.MaxValue))]; dr.GetBytes(0, 0, blob, 0, blob.Length); OR.......... SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select Doc,DocTitle,DocType from tblResumeUpload where Docid=" + queryRequest, Conn); Conn.Open(); Byte[] blob = null; //blob = new Byte[1024]; // Execute the SQL statement SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader(); dr.Read(); //Byte[] blob = (byte[])dr["doc"]; //blob = Convert.ToString (dr[0]); // Get the file size and file data from the retrieved record blob = new Byte[(dr.GetBytes(0, 0, null, 0, int.MaxValue))]; dr.GetBytes(0, 0, blob, 0, blob.Length); ok bye sreenu
