Hi friend,

Check the fallowing code, this is working for me....

C#

if (fileupload1.HasFile)
{
   byte [] productImage = fileupload1.FileBytes;

   con.Open();
    SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SP_SetUserDetails", con);
    cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Username", txtuname.Text);
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@EmailID", txtEmail.Text);
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Password", txtpass.Text);
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Image", productImage);
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Hobbies", str);
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@country", txtcountry.Text);
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Status", sts.ToString());
    //cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
    SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
    DataSet ds = new DataSet();
    da.Fill(ds);
    Gridview1.DataSource = ds;
    //Gridview1.DataBind();
    BindGrid();
    //con.Close();

}

Try below code:

C#

public byte[] imageToByteArray(System.Drawing.Image imageIn)
{
 MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
 imageIn.Save(ms,System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif);
 return  ms.ToArray();
}

Now save the byte array in the database.

Call the above method while saving image in the database:

C#

command.Parameters.Add("@IMAGE", SqlDbType.VarBinary).Value = ConvertImageToByteArray(PictureBox1.Image);

While retriving the image from the database, again convert the byte array to image.

C#

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