ok THANK YOU!

thank YOu! Guys, I attached the Database File and all information that i have, please just try, and find a soloution for me. tnx! i probably know what the problem is, but i don't know how could i handle it! :(( :confused: :((

Thank you, but unfortunately i sill have he same problem as before. Parameters is not valid!

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string strData = dataGridView1[2, 0].Value.ToString();
byte[] data = new ASCIIEncoding().GetBytes(strData);
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(data);
Image im;
im = Image.FromStream(ms);//Parameters is not valid! :((
pictureBox1.Image = im;
}

THank you Wes Aday, i use this :

public Image ByteToImageConvert(byte[] byteArrayIn)
{
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(byteArrayIn);
Image returnImage = Image.FromStream(ms);
return returnImage;
}

    private void button2\_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string strData = dataGridView1\[2, 0\].Value.ToString();
        byte\[\] data = Convert.FromBase64String(strData);
        pictureBox1.Image = ByteToImageConvert(data);
    }

but i face with this problem on " Image returnImage = Image.FromStream(ms);": Parameter is not valid. What should i do? PLease HELP! thank you!

Dear gareth111, as i see in this post you had a problem same as mine, please check this post soon, i really need your help, http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/3261881/Help-Database-Problem-Unknown-Information-in-an-Ac.aspx[^] thank you. With best Regards.

Dear Friends, Well i found that, it's definitely a String Base 64, 'cause I was able to build a byte array from it with this code:

string strData = dataGridView1[2, 0].Value.ToString();//this from visit table in sample database that i //attached
byte[] data = Convert.FromBase64String(strData);

and i use this :

public Image ByteToImageConvert(byte[] byteArrayIn)
                  {
                           MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(byteArrayIn);
                           Image returnImage = Image.FromStream(ms);
                           return returnImage;
                  }

but i face with this problem on " Image returnImage = Image.FromStream(ms);": Parameter is not valid. What should i do? PLease HELP! thank you!

Dear Wes Aday, If you do more attention, you will find that, my question is relative to C# problem. i need to know what functions or method or classes should i use to solve my problem in C#! Well i found that, it's definitely a String Base 64, 'cause I was able to build a byte array from it with this code: string strData = dataGridView1[2, 0].Value.ToString(); byte[] data = Convert.FromBase64String(strData); and now the thing that i'm looking for is: How could i make an image from byte? thank you!

Hi friends. there is a clinic software who was written by a bankrupted company, and now it doesn’t work by the some reason, and there is no support on this software, All things that I have to do are recover the patient’s data that was written by doctor handwriting in his notebook tablet-pc. let me describe a little... software has a feature that allow to the doctor to write the patients information by hand writing with an electrical pen, it so like paint brush software and it save this information in the database like bellow...

AIfIAR0E2A/uBgIZAkgRBUgRRP8BBEgQRTUKSBFXDQAAAFD/AQQDATgAGCIgMgkA9P8CAekiOkUzCQD4nwIBWiA6RTgIAP4DAAAAgH8ADw4S+SONP88jjT8RAACAPx4+4gKD/glK/glJAAAAAAAAAAAYyAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAiQIkAAAAAAVMgAAAAESAEJAAAAAAxkAAAAAAIfEAAKLw+E+44+492VloilKFtOjSCG4PDhA6KAjpKCkI

but i face with this problem on " Image returnImage = Image.FromStream(ms);": Parameter is not valid. So What should i do? i attached the database file here/: http://rapidshare.com/files/302706380/test.accdb.html there is a tables in the database, and all thing that i need is the "VISIT Table" 's information on the column by the name "NOTES", i think it must be image.

Recently i get a project about a clinic software and i have a little problem with the previous database information. so i thought that you are the best one that could answer me, let me describe a little... the previous software has a feature that allow to the doctor to write the patients information by hand writing with a electrical pen, it so like paint brush software and it save this information in the database like bellow, AORtHQTwD4AEAh4CSBEHSBFEgID8BwRIEEU1B0gRRP8BRQgFSBFE/wEEAwE4ABgiIDIJAPT/AgHpIjpFMwkA+J8CAVogOkU4CAD+AwAAAIB/AA8OEvkjjT/PI40/EQAAgD8eKLQBhvAdR4DpyGhwAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIAZ4yvRgAAnp8AACGhwAAAAAAKIgqE+ry+sL1Y4RhHXsCF8iV5DHKLKIJsTICFqxzDyy14ueEKIgmH5jDmMYFA51D5XSIqh+Ow47GwWG2Sug26 :confused: so i don't know what exactly it is, but i guess it could be a Multimedia Format Like jpeg or anything else like that, do you know what it could be, and how can i solve this problem! thank you very much!
