You can stream you image to web without saving it to disk. Create an empty ASPX page, and put in something like this: protected override void OnLoad(System.EventArgs e) { base.OnLoad(e); Response.Clear(); Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg"; System.Drawing.Image image = _SomeFunctionThatGetsYourImage_(_someParametersToDecideWhichOne_); image.Save(Response.OutputStream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg); } If you are going to use this image in a webpage, you could in that webpage link to the above mentioned page with the <img src="_pagename_.aspx"> tag. (I would perhaps use a Querystring variable to tell what image to stream...) Have a look at my latest article about Object Prevalence with Bamboo Prevalence.

Thankyou all for your help - Im a good few steps closer to my solution. Thanks again, Peter

You can convert it to a byte[] before send to the server and then store it directly. public StorePhoto(byte[] photoContent) { ....... SqlParameter param1 = new SqlParameter("@photo",SqlDbType.Image); param1.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input; param1.Value = photoContent; ....... }
