Hi Are you storing images in db or image only image name in db. It is easy if you store only image name and type in db. Thanks. Rahul

You can use a HttpHandler to display an image from database. Check the following url Displaying Images in Using HttpHandlers[^]

Hi rahul, The images are stored as Image DataType in SQL

I would also mention not to store images in the database as your database will become huge. It would be better to store the file location in the database and grab that rather then the actual image.

Hi Don't store images into database, If you store the size of db become large and give application gives poor performance. Even though you want to store it into database this link will help you. http://www.beansoftware.com/ASP.NET-Tutorials/Images-Database.aspx[^] Another Linl Regards
