Retrieve image from SQL Server using vb.net

hi...

you just have to retrieve images from database through the reader. If you stored image height and width into database so it also you can retrieve with reader and you just write the following code

ltImage.Text = "<img src='../PathofImage/' & reader.item("ImageField")">"

I have downloaded the source code (from the dotnetcurry skydrive) and it works when I put it in a simple website. However, I have tried to add it to an existing web project for debugging and failed so maybe you have a similar problem? In that case some more info might be needed to find out what the actual problem is. When I tested it, I made some mistakes with database permissions but since you are seeing the records in the database I guess you've passed that station.

The 'aside' problem you mention (duplicate submit) is also mentioned in the comments on the page: it's ok in the download but from the aspx code posted on the page you have to remove

onclick="btnSubmit_Click"

Select allOpen in new window

which is only needed in the C# version, the VB version has this code instead, defined after the Sub:

Handles btnSubmit.Click

Select allOpen in new window

I did also see mention of this double submit causing empty image records so it could actually solve your problem?!

If not, can you retrieve an image directly? Try something like ...//your_website_and_path/ShowImage.ashx?id=1

When I created a completely new web site, the dotnetcurry code worked perfectly.  When I changed the sql to perform the lookup to my production database, it fails.  I have to believe there is something wrong with the data being stored in my production database.  Removing the onclick = did fix the duplicate record issue.
