Retrieving an image from the database

Post by BillG »

I am trying to retrieve my image from the database.

here is what I have so far.

Code: Select all

// retrieves the row in the MemberPhoto table as an object
memberPhoto = Repository.GetMemberPhoto(currentMember.SocSecNo);
if (memberPhoto != null)                          // verifies the valid row was retrieved
{
    byte[] data = memberPhoto.Photo;       // retrieves the image from the field in the object and assigns it to a byte Array

    image = VintasoftImage.FromStream(new MemoryStream(data));
                
    DisplayPhoto(image);
}
Now how do I take it from the bytearray to a vintasoft image ready to be displayed?

Hi Bill,

You need retrieve data as byte array from database, add byte array to a MemoryStream and create instance of VintasoftImage class based on memory stream.
