Saving an Image file to sql Server and converting byte array into image

Question

I am storing images in a database and would like to convert them from byte array to image. I have no problem converting an object to byte array but I get an error of \"Param

Answer 1

Try to deserialize the object first from byte array with your BinaryFormatter!

Try to use following two methods:

private System.Drawing.Image ObjToImg(byte[] obj)
    {
        if (obj == null)
            return null;
        else
        {
            BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter();
            using(MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(obj))
            {
              return (System.Drawing.Image)bf.Deserialize(ms);
            }
        }
    }
private byte[] ImgToObj(System.Drawing.Image obj)
    {
        if (obj == null)
            return null;
        else
        {
            BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter();
            using(MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
            {
              bf.Serialize(ms, obj);
              return ms.ToArray();
            }
        }
    }
