Your question is too general. Which part of the process are you having trouble with? What code do you have so far and why isn't it working?

i'm new to C#, and wanted to create a paperless desktop software... the scanning is running and storing the information on the database is running as well, i want to also add the link of the scanned image to the database as well,(so that in the datagrid view there is a hyperlinked text, when clicked would open the set image), i tried BLOBing it (that works), but i want to just add the link of the file...

i just want to know the general way of how to make a hyperlink of the file(image) and insert it to the database... thanks...

My Solution Is:
store file path string of image in text Column. like 'C:\Scans\image1.jpg'
and in win form use

C#

System.Drawing.Image img = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(FilepathString);

and use picturebox control to show image

C#

PictureBox p = new PictureBox();
p.Image = img;

if you want to show image in external application use Process Class and
pass the FilepathString as Argument of Application

sample:

C#

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("mspaint.exe", "\"" + FilepathString + "\"");
