Question

I need to save a jpg image to database
in the database type of this property is nvarchar(max)
so i need to serialize and deserialize this property like this:

 private byte[] HexStringToObject(string value)
    {
        SoapHexBinary shb = SoapHexBinary.Parse(value);
        return shb.Value;
    }

 private string ObjectToHexString(object value)
    {
        if (value == null)
            return "";

        SoapHexBinary shb = new SoapHexBinary((byte[])value);
        return shb.ToString();
    }

but there is a problem,, I dont know the problem is related to serialize or deserialize method
just when I want to see this image via:

 public FileResult Initialpicture(int? propertyId)
    {
        if (propertyId == null)
            return null;
        IProperty image = Repository<IProperty>.Get(propertyId);
        if (image.Value == null)
            return null;
        return File((byte[])image.Value, "image/jpg");//Get of Value use deserialize method to get byte[]

and in the browser i just can see small part of image,and the error ” Image corrupt or truncated:”
}

what is the problem?

Answer 1

Probably your database or your ORM if you have any, will truncate the byte array for example to 12000 bytes.
