Question

i’m working on Linq To Sql,WPF and i have a database now i need to save some picture in the database but i don’t know which is the correct datatype to save the pictures Database(this database would be connect from 10 users in the same time).
Can you point me in the right way to overcome this step?
If i didn’t wrong it is not a good idea to save pictures in the database but if you can advice me a better method i will apply it.
Thanks so much for your time.

Nice Regards

You can use a ‘varbinary(MAX)’ or ‘image’ column type. Linq2Sql will auto-generate a class that uses a Binary object to wrap your image. The Binary object is just a wrapper around a byte[].

myObject.Image = new Binary(imageByteArray);
