Storing and retrieving images from SQL database using VB.Net.

I am building an application in which the image of the product is displayed on the form but rather than storing the paths of the images, i want to store the images themself. Using the binary datatype is not producing any results, can someone point me in the right direction.

Well is the main problem SQL Server?? In SQL Server 2000 and above, you have to set the data type to "image" ... do you have images in the database at all yet??
