Image in datatable

Question

I read image by using OpenFileDialog. Sample code is below:

openFileDialog1.ShowDialog();
if (openFileDialog1.FileName != null)
   if (picBoardImage.Image != nul         


        

Answer 1

You can do it like this -

DataTable table = new DataTable("ImageTable"); //Create a new DataTable instance.

DataColumn column = new DataColumn("MyImage"); //Create the column.
column.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.Byte[]"); //Type byte[] to store image bytes.
column.AllowDBNull = true;
column.Caption = "My Image";

table.Columns.Add(column); //Add the column to the table.

Then, add a new row to this table and set the value of the MyImage column.

DataRow row = table.NewRow();
row["MyImage"] = ;
tables.Rows.Add(row);

EDIT: You can take a look at this CodeProject article for help on converting an image to a byte array.
