Try this { byte[] imageContent = (byte[])(reader["img_stream"]); MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(imageContent ); Bitmap bmp; bmp = new Bitmap(ms); bmp.Save(ms, ImageFormat.Jpeg); closeAccessConnection(); }

I have tried your instruction but now i m getting following errors: 1. 'Image' is an ambiguous reference 2. The type or namespace name 'bmp' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) I m using following namespaces: using System; using System.Collections; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Data.OleDb; using System.Drawing; using System.Drawing.Imaging; using System.Web; using System.Web.SessionState; using System.Web.UI; using System.Web.UI.WebControls; using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls; using System.IO; and i've used no image control...Please help!!!
