Need Assistance.. Convert byte[] to Image or Bitmap

Hi experts,
I stored an image in SQL Server 2005 in Image datatype. My requirement is to get the image stored in database and show it in a web page. I tried to convert byte[] to Image and byte[] to Bitmap.

I'm getting an exception
Parameter is not valid.

byte[] image = (byte[])dataset.Tables[0].Rows[0][0];
if (image.Length > 0)
        {
            MemoryStream astream = new MemoryStream();
            astream.Write(image, 0, image.Length);
            //System.Drawing.Image newImage=System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(astream);
            Bitmap newimage = new Bitmap(astream);
            Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";
            newimage.Save(newfolder);
            Image2.Attributes.Add("src", newfolder);
        }

Hello Shiva_Thogiti,

You don't actually need to do any of that! All you need to do is set the contenttype and do a binarywrite of the array to the page:

Regards,

byte[] image = (byte[])dataset.Tables[0].Rows[0][0];
if (image.Length > 0)
        {
            Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";
            Response.BinaryWrite(image);
        }
