I want to pass Null value or empty bytes for image field in sql

What I have tried:

My Code is below

If Not pic Is Nothing Then
              imageConverter = New ImageConverter()
              imageByte = DirectCast(imageConverter.ConvertTo(pic, GetType(Byte())), Byte())
              objCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@EmpPhoto", imageByte)
          Else
              objCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@EmpPhoto", DBNull.Value)
          End If

It shows an Error
Operand type is incompatiable with the image

So your "solution" to this already-solved question is to introduce a SQL Injection[^] vulnerability that didn't exist in the original code?

Very bad idea.

Try:

~~objCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@EmpPhoto", SqlDbType.Image).Value = DBNull.Value~~

Interesting. That doesn't work...Nor does this:

try
    {
    using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(strConnect))
        {
        con.Open();
        using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO Table_4 (Photo) VALUES (@P)", con))
            {
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@P", SqlDbType.Image).Value = DBNull.Value;
            int result = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
            }
        }
    }
catch (Exception ex)
    {
    Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
    }

But this does:

try
    {
    using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(strConnect))
        {
        con.Open();
        using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO Table_4 (Photo) VALUES (@P)", con))
            {
            SqlParameter ip = new SqlParameter("@P", SqlDbType.Image);
            ip.Value = DBNull.Value;
            cmd.Parameters.Add(ip);
            int result = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
            }
        }
    }
catch (Exception ex)
    {
    Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
    }

So ... in VB:

Try

    Using con As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(strConnect)
        con.Open()

        Using cmd As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("INSERT INTO Table_4 (Photo) VALUES (@P)", con)
            Dim ip As SqlParameter = New SqlParameter("@P", SqlDbType.Image)
            ip.Value = DBNull.Value
            cmd.Parameters.Add(ip)
            Dim result As Integer = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
        End Using
    End Using

Catch ex As Exception
    Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)
End Try
