    Hmm, let's try to simplify this. Can you create a button and in that button call this sub (it may contain compilation errors since I wrote it in notepad). Let's see what you get with this:

    Private Sub TestMethod()
    Dim imageCount As Integer = dsImage.Images.Rows.Count

    MsgBox("Original image count in dataset: " & CStr(imageCount))
    conImage = GetDBConnection()
    commImage = New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("DELETE FROM Images WHERE ImageID = " & txtImageFile.Text, conImage)
    If commImage.ExecuteNonQuery() <> 1 Then
    MsgBox("Delete failed", MsgBoxStyle.Information)
    End If
    dsImage.Images.Clear()
    dsImage.Images.AcceptChanges()
    If dsImage.Images.Rows.Count <> 0 Then
    MsgBox("Datatable not empty", MsgBoxStyle.Information)
    End If
    Me.ImagesTableAdapter.ClearBeforeFill = True
    Me.ImagesTableAdapter.Fill(Me.dsImage.Images)
    If (imagecount - 1 <> dsImage.Images.Rows.Count) Then
    MsgBox("Delete not done, rows in datatable: " & CStr(dsImage.Images.Rows.Count), MsgBoxStyle.Information)
    End If
    End Sub

    What do you get as result (information in messageboxes)?

    hello again sorry for late i have test this and result are as bellow WITH 0 DATA COUNT FIRST MESSAGEBOX 1- Original Count in Database = 0 2- Error because there is no row in database so it shows error because of this

    If commImage.ExecuteNonQuery() <> 1 Then
    MsgBox("Delete failed", MsgBoxStyle.Information)
    End If

    after that i close application and rerun it and add one image in database so FIRST MSGBOX 1- Original Count in DB = 1 SECOND MSGBOX 2- Delete failed THIRD MSGBOX 3- Delete not done, Rows in datatable = 1 thanks again waiting for your rep.

      No problem... So the problem in this case was that there wasn't a row to delete matching the condition. Try to change the delete statement:

      commImage = New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("DELETE FROM Images WHERE ImageID = (SELECT MAX(ImageID) FROM Images)", conImage)

      This should delete the last image in images. Any difference?

        hello again ok with empty DB 1 msgbox Original image count = 0 2 msgbox delete failed 3 msgbox Delete not done, rows in BD =0 and without closing application I add one image with original method and it shows msgbox that 1 image is saved, and then without closing application i click button to use your method still it shows that first msgbox= original image count = 0 and in second = Delete not done row in datatable=0, and when i click button second time without closing application so first msgbox is original image count =0 second msgbox is delete failed therd msgbox is row i datatable=0 so that means image has been saved in database and deleted when i click button to use your method and when i click button second so result was different and then add one image and rerun the application so it show one image in database and i can see the image in picturebox as well now i click button for your method so msgbox 1 Original Image count =1 msgbox2 = delete not done, row in datatable = 1 now i have click button second time without closing application so msgbox 1 Original Image count =1 msgbox 2 Delete Failed msgbox 3 delete not done, row in datatable = 1 so this is some thing else i think we are going to the right direction thanks waiting for your kind rep.

          This is confusing... I thought that now the delete operation would have deleted 1 row. I think I must get some sleep but in the mean time if you could test this variation with one picture in database (this should delete ALL pictures):

          commImage = New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("DELETE FROM Images)", conImage)
          ...
          If (dsImage.Images.Rows.Count > 0) Then
          MsgBox("Delete not done, rows in datatable: " & CStr(dsImage.Images.Rows.Count), MsgBoxStyle.Information)
          End If

          I'll get back to this sometime tomorrow afternoon so don't hurry with this. If I'm reading the clock correctly it's past 10pm at your timezone so you could use some rest too. :) Mika

                    Where is that SqlException coming from? After the "Delete not done..." message box there should be no code to execute (only End If). Another thing, the dataset is defined in the project, am I correct? Could you post the part that selects the images or do you create the SELECT statement?

                        Ok, First change the following commImage = New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("DELETE * FROM Images)", conImage) to commImage = New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("DELETE FROM Images)", conImage) If you could then rerun the test where you had two images, what is the output now? The deletion wasn't done, because of the syntax error in SQL statement, so we don't know if the deletion works or not

                            Yeah, sorry. Instead of: commImage = New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("DELETE FROM Images)", conImage) write commImage = New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("DELETE FROM Images", conImage) There was an extra parenthesis at the end of the statement... Then let's try again

                              hello ok no problem MsbBox1 = original image count = 1 msgbox2 = delete not done,rows in datatable = 1 msgbox3 = delete not done, rows in datatable = 1 and exit sub and then i click again so msgbox1= original image count = 1 msgbox2 = delete not done,rows in datatable = 1 msgbox3 = delete failed msgbox4 = delete not done, rows in datatable = 1 so this is the only difference waiting for your kind rep. thanks

                                :confused: I am missing it... For some reason seems like Fill is fetching different data... What is the connection used for filling dsImage? Is it the same that is used in deleting Another thing. I don't think we can get much further by posting through CodeProject. Is it possible for you to send me the whole project via e-mail?

                                    Wow, so big? If there's data in the database, could it be emptied. Pictures are not necessary. Also bin and obj folders are not necessary since they are created by compiler. Would that change the size say less than 5 MB. I think emailing can be done by pressing Email-link in a post instead of Reply. I'll send you a test message..

                                        if you put the log and the mdf into zip folder is it still 26mb. They should compress quite well. The test message didn't come so I think we cannot use that. Also I don't know if there's any way to use attachments in cp email... Try to send me a little message to address mika dot wendelius at bdb dot fi

                                          Hi again, What was the output from these (rowcount)?

                                          MsgBox("Original image count in dataset: " & CStr(imageCount))
                                          ...
                                          If (dsImage.Images.Rows.Count > 0) Then
                                          MsgBox("Delete not done, rows in datatable: " & CStr(dsImage.Images.Rows.Count), MsgBoxStyle.Information)
                                          End If
