read and save image in sql server

i want to save in database (varbinary) and retrieve back from the database. My code is like this:

// Get the picture from the DataRow and assign it to

// a byte array

byte[] MyPicture = null;

MyPicture = (byte[])dsFlashcard.Tables[0].Rows[0]["Picture"];

int ArraySize = new int();

ArraySize = MyPicture.GetUpperBound(0);

 

// After retrieving the byte array, I get the number of elements of

// the array for use in writing the array

FileStream fsFlashcard = new FileStream("tmp.gif", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write);

// Create a filestream for writing the byte array to a gif

// file (my picture format - .gif)

fsFlashcard.Write(MyPicture,0,ArraySize+1);

fsFlashcard.Close();

// Assign the temporary gif file to the picture box

picFlashcard.Image = new Bitmap("tmp.gif");
