Hello,

Using C#, how do I insert an image from a windows folder (i.e.  C:\My Images\image001.jpg) into a table?  Thank you.

Something like this should do it:

private byte[] imagebytes;
public Image Portrait;

using (OdbcCommand MyCommand = new OdbcCommand("", Info.Connection))
{
  MyCommand.CommandText = "INSERT INTO TableName" (ImageFld) VALUES(?)"

  Portrait = new Bitmap("C:\My Images\image001.jpg");

  using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
  {
    Portrait.Save(ms, Portrait.RawFormat);
    imagebytes = ms.ToArray();
  }

  MyCommand.Parameters.Add("ImageFld", OdbcType.Image);
  MyCommand.Parameters["ImageFld"].Value = imagebytes;

  MyCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
}

Thank you, Chris.  I will give this a try.

Hi Chris,

Is there any code needed for the memo column Document below?  Without the Memo column, I am able to add the row.  With the memo column (last column named Document), I got this error message

"ERROR [42000] [Elevate Software][DBISAM] DBISAM Engine Error # 11949 SQL parsing error - Expected NULL, Memo expression but instead found ? in INSERT SQL statement at line 1, column 57"

                     MyCommand.CommandText = "INSERT INTO dcdocument2 (ID, Name, Document) VALUES(?,?,?)";

                     MyCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("ID", 3);
                     MyCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("Name", "Test3");
                     MyCommand.Parameters.Add("Document", OdbcType.Image);
                     MyCommand.Parameters["Document"].Value = imagebytes;

                     MyCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();

What type of column is "Document" in the table - in mine I am using
"Graphic"

If you are using a Memo field you may need to change the

MyCommand.Parameters.Add("Document", OdbcType.Image);

to

MyCommand.Parameters.Add("Document", OdbcType.Text);

I have not tested this though.

Hi Chris,

In one of the older post (http://www.elevatesoft.com/forums?action=view&category=dbisam&id=dbisam_odbc&msg=1794&page=3) you recommend  OdbcType.Text for MEMO column.   Would  OdbcType.Image work as well?  From the error msg, the driver seems to be expected something at the end of the byte[] being passed in.  Thank you.

Hi Durendal,

What is the Data Type for your "Document" column in the table?

Hi Chris,

It is of type MEMO, please see the image and the table in the attached zip file.  Thank you.

Hi Durendal,

For MEMO columns you should use this as the definition of the parameter:

MyCommand.Parameters.Add("Document", OdbcType.Text);
