Hi malik, BLOBs (Binary Large OBjects) are where its at for storing images (and other media) in a database
check out this article for using BLOBs in C#

The code written in that article uses OdbcConnection for connection with MySQL.
You can use latest .NET Connector for MySQL, and use the MySql.Data.MySqlClient namespace and change your code appropriately.
