Question

In ASP.NET I wish to empty/clear/reset the contents on an Image data type in SQL Server.
I will then later check to see if this column is empty/null – if not, I will output the image.

Can you tell me the necessary C#? Here is what I have presently…

newsItem.Image1 = null;
dataContext.SubmitChanges();

The above actually gives me “0x” when I look through SQL Server Management Studio, so its not actually empty.

Many thanks!

Answer 1

If it is Nullable in DB then use

newsItem.Image1= null;

else

newsItem.Image1= new Binary( new byte[0] );
