please help me.. thank a lot!

i have done one project that work with multiple picture, 3 differences from your project is :

  1. i use datagridview (not listview);
  2. i use 2 form (first form for DGV, and second form to hold picture preview when user double click the DGV);
  3. i save the path of picture in database not the picture it self (i think it more light for my database).

so, if you really want it, i will show you my work.

Sample1
Sample2

really? thank you..

can u help me for retrieving? i have listview for viewing the content of my records..
then if you double click the record another form will appear and there is the record..
the problem is i can't display the image from my database there's always an error.. please help me.

i assume that button3 to retrieve image, since i don't know how you write your connection string so maybe you'll need some modification with this code :

 Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
 try
 using conn as new mysqlconnection("server=blablabla;user=blablabla;password=blablabla;database=blablabla")
 conn.open()
Dim command As New MySqlCommand("SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name = blablabla", conn)
            Dim data As MySqlDataReader = command.ExecuteReader()
            If data.HasRows = True Then
                data.Read()
                Dim bt As Byte() = DirectCast(data("images"), Byte())
                Dim ms As New MemoryStream(bt)
                PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromStream(ms)
            End If
            command.Dispose()
            data.Close()
            conn.Close()
            End Using
            Catch ex As Exception
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
            End Try
End Sub

sir that button 3 is to select image from my computer..
is that code can display my record and image in the form?
thank you sir for helping me..godbless

ahh.. since i don't know what button to trigger it, so put that code to your button for displaying. maybe you'll need a little bit modification because i don't know your database structure and how you write your connection string.

this is my connection sir..
