i just wanted to know if it is possible to save images into the database without the image path like for example a default image already assigned into the picture box. This is the sample code that I used that requires an image location. I want to set a default image into the picture box. The Image column in MySql is set to Blob. Thanks to those who will answer.

C#

byte[] imageBt = null;
FileStream fstream = new FileStream(this.txtImage.Text, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(fstream);
imageBt = br.ReadBytes((int)fstream.Length);

conn.Open();
MySqlCommand command = new MySqlCommand("insert into images(image)values(@IMG)", conn);
command.Parameters.Add(new MySqlParameter("@IMG", imageBt));

reader = command.ExecuteReader();
MessageBox.Show("Saved");

while (reader.Read())
{

}

I have found the solution to my question. Thank you to those who have answered . . .

C#

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
           pictureBox1.Image.Save(ms, ImageFormat.Png);
           byte[] pic_arr = new byte[ms.Length];
           ms.Position = 0;
           ms.Read(pic_arr, 0, pic_arr.Length);
           conn.Open();
           MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand("insert into images(image, name)values(@img,@imgName)", conn);
           cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@imgName", txtName.Text);
           cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@img", pic_arr);
           int n = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
           conn.Close();
           MessageBox.Show("COmplete");
