            Dim arrImage() As Byte = ms.GetBuffer
            ms.Close()
            ' Dim cm As New OleDbCommand(String.Format("insert into 1styear values(@photo)"), LoginForm1.cn.con)

         OleDbType.VarBinary)).Value = arrImage


'the code to search

   Dim cmd1 As New OleDbCommand(String.Format("SELECT photo FROM 2ndyear WHERE ID=" & txtId.Text), LoginForm1.cn.con)

                    Dim reader As OleDbDataReader
                    reader = cmd1.ExecuteReader

                    If reader.Read Then
                        Dim imgByteArray() As Byte

                        Try
                            imgByteArray = CType(reader(0), Byte())
                            Dim stream As New MemoryStream(imgByteArray)
                            Dim bmp As New Bitmap(stream)
                            PictureBox1.Image = bmp
                            stream.Close()
                            'Return bmp
                        Catch ex As Exception
                            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
                            'Return Nothing
                        End Try
                    End If

                    reader.Close()
                    LoginForm1.cn.con.Close()

                    cmd1.Dispose()
                    LoginForm1.cn.con.Dispose()
