You can stream the binary data returned by SQL Server directly using the


Response.BinaryWrite


method. Do this after retrieving the data from the database.


In <script runat="server" /> block or codebehind:


Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)


Dim connectionString as String = "Your connection string"


Dim objConnection as New SqlConnection(connectionString)


Dim commandText as String = "SELECT Image FROM imageTable"


Dim objCommand as New SqlCommand(commandText, objConnection)


Dim objReader as SqlDataReader


Try


objConnection.Open()


objReader = objCommand.ExecuteReader()


If objReader.Read() Then


Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg"


Response.BinaryWrite( CType(objReader("Image"), Byte()) )


End If


Catch exc as Exception


Response.Write( exc.ToString() )


Finally


If Not objConnection Is Nothing Then


If objConnection.State = ConnectionState.Open Then


objConnection.Close()


End If



End If




If Not objReader Is Nothing Then


objReader.Close()


End If


End Try


End Sub

This code will display the contents of the first record in the imageTable. In the example


code, the Image field in the SQL Server contains the binary data that is written out with


the Response.BinaryWrite method.


Response.ContentType should be set to the appropriate MIME-type of the image


that you are trying to display.This can be stored in the database as well and retrieved


along with the image data.
