How to load an Image from an SQL Server 2005 database using VB.NET 2005 coding?
After a lot of trying and hard work I finally manged to store an image into an SQL Server database using a byte array. But now I'm stuck at how to retrieve it back into my application's picture box control.

Answer Wiki:
It is usually recommended that you not store graphics within the database. The database will quickly become a performance bottleneck and you will see your database grow quickly to a very large size.
That said, I posted an answer to a similar question up on the SearchSQLServer.com site in the mailbag <a href="http://searchsqlserver.techtarget.com/generic/0,295582,sid87_gci1366927,00.html">last week</a>. It's very high level as I'm not a programmer, but should give you a starting point.
