displaying a image in a winform's panel

Sachi,i think DB didn't support "\" symbol.before storing path you just replace "\" with some other symbol and store it.while read it ,again you replace that symbol with "\" symbol using replace() method of string.

There must be an another way to store file path.try to find out that.and read the below discussion.it may help you.

vimal if the selected image is in bmp format then in db it is displaying the full name(I have a image namely karthiknpatel which is in bmp format) like below

mysql> select * from drawings;
+----------------+-------------------------------------+
| frontview      | backview                            |
+----------------+-------------------------------------+
| E:Imageg.jpg | E:Imagerigaderoad-bangalore06.jpg |
| E:Imageg.gif | E:Imageskartiknpatel.bmp            |
+----------------+-------------------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

but the selected image is in the format other than the bmp then it is not displaying properly(you can see in the first row;the actual file name is brigaderoad-bangalore06 but it is not properly displaying.and also the folder name Images is also not displaying properly it is correct only for a file with bmp format-the second row second column)

vimal is it possible to display in the format like below

frontview                      backview

E\Images\filename     E\Images\filename

ya,use that Fview and Bview to store image path in DB.is there any problem at the time of storing those paths in DB.

vimal is it something like this

string fview="E\\Images\\FView";

string bview="E\\Images\\BView";

private void button6_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e) // attach button for front view

{

openFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = "E:\\Images\\";

openFileDialog1.ShowDialog();

if (File.Exists(openFileDialog1.FileName))

{

FView = openFileDialog1.FileName;

pictureBox1.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(FView);

 

}

}

Sachi,assign image path to variables[fview,bview] whenever you select a image file using open dialog.then use these variables to store info into db.

thanks vimal

vimal in the form containing that picturebox I have a button called submit, which stores the entered information into the db. My question is when I click submit it has to store the path location of that two images(front view and back view).To do this I can declare two string variables to store the path but I don't know how to assign the path to these two string variables

Sachi, set PictureBox property SizeMode=AutoSize in properties window. Now picture box size will change automatically  according to Image size.

thanks vimal I got it.

Vimal if the image in the Images folder is smaller than the size of the picturebox then its ok but if it is bigger than the size of the picture box then how shall I display that image in the picture box?
