i am currently facing some problem retrieving image for display on a datagridview control.
The Image data type in the database is blob.
I am using mysql as a database for retrieving the image . may i ask if it is possible to just retrieve a image data of this format and display in the gridview? or do i need to store the image in a image folder for retrieval?
I am using winforms application
Don’t really think it’s possible to figure out EXACT format of the image from its binary stream. The only solution I met, is storing the format in DB too, or have architectual convension to store in DB only one format type images.
