Create a field in your database, make it OleObject type, call it myImage
Then:

C#

using (OdbcConnection con = new OdbcConnection(connectionString))
    {
    using (OdbcCommand com = new OdbcCommand("INSERT INTO myTable (myImage) VALUES (@IM)", con))
        {
        MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
        MyPictureBox.Image.Save(ms,System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp);
        byte[] imageData = ms.ToArray();
        com.Parameters.AddWithValue("@IM", imageData);
        com.ExecuteNonQuery();
        }
    }

I am using this code to load pictureBox1 on Button2_click event:

try
{
OpenFileDialog of = new OpenFileDialog();

DialogResult d = of.ShowDialog();

of.Filter = "Image Files(*.jpg; *.jpeg; *.gif; *.bmp)|*.jpg; *.jpeg; *.gif; *.bmp";
if (d == DialogResult.OK)
{
pictureBox1.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile(of.FileName);
imaeg = of.FileName;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("upload only jpg image!!");

}
}

On save_click button event:

OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source= |DataDirectory|/Schooldb.mdb");
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand("insert into Student values(@Myimage)",conn);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Myimage", imaeg);
}

So read it out and convert it back to an image.
Assuming you can read it from the DB (which is the reverse of writing it) and load it into a byte array:

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(bytes);
Image returnImage = Image.FromStream(ms);
