The same way as everyone else does. What have you tried? Have you done any research at all? What was the problem with what you have tried?

You must be joking. There are thousands of examples of how to save and get an image from a database out there on the internet.

Okay... and? You expect people to write your code for you? Especially based on the zero amount of relevant information that you have given us to work with? Show us what you have tried and describe an actual problem. "I am confused" does not tell us anything about your actual problem.

This is not the "hints" section and you have not asked for any help either. This is where you ask an answerable question. "I don't know how", "I want" and "I am confused" are not questions at all. You want a hint? Search for "MVC insert image in whatever-database-engine-you-are-using" and you will get all of the hints you want.

Hi Umeshinator,

There are two ways you can achieve using image in MVC like
i) Store the image in some location at your sever and save its path for the user details data in a varchar column.

Ex :- Put a image upload component to your page and first upload it to a location in server. Then take that location and save it to database table varchar column. While retrieving just retrieve the path and show the image from same location.

In MVC you have to use some jQuery component for image upload.

ii) Save the whole image into database as a binary data using datatype 'Image'.

If you are already doing some CRUD operation it will be definitely easy for you to just store the image on server location and save the path to your database table.

Hope this will work as a hint for you and there is already some posts which might be of help for you. The below references show example for asp.net to store image in both way. Please refer and you can get some idea.
