Hi,

Here you will find a starting point to solve your problem:
http://www.beansoftware.com/ASP.NET-Tutorials/Save-Read-Image-Database.aspx[^]

Look at the source code at the end of the article.

What I found at MSDN about the image datatype is this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187993.aspx[^]

There you will see that the image datatype will be disconinued in future versions of MS-SQL. Microsoft recommends that you use a varbinary(max) for future projects (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188362.aspx[^]).

Hope this helps.

Best regards and happy coding,
Chris

If you have 1000 wallpapers then to be honest the best, quickest, most accurate way is going to be to cretae a quick program to do it. The alternatives are going to be very labour intensive - a program is just a case of "this folder: load all .JPG files". It's not difficult to do (hell, it's a sub twenty line console app if necessary!) Where as gettingthe images into a DB manually is probably more time to do per 20 images image than it is to write test and ready-to-run the whole app!

With all respect to OriginalGriff's proposal, i doubt that to write such application will take 20 lines of code. Thus, if you are familiar a bit with C# you can try this CP source code with demo project C# - dataCollector – Collecting and Saving Data Easily.
I hope, it will be fun to learn something from useful example.
