Stream to PictureBox: What's wrong? (RESOLVED)

[AlvaroF1]

Dim myStream As IO.MemoryStream = New IO.MemoryStream()
Dim myByte(myStream.Length) As Byte
myByte = CType(myOleDbDataReader.Item("myImageField"), Byte())
myStream.Write(myByte, 0, myByte.GetUpperBound(0))
PictureBox1.Image.FromStream(myStream)

The problem is that no image is displayed. I'm sure there is an image in "myImageField".

What to do?


Thanks.

[AlvaroF1]

So, what do you suggest?

[PT Exorcist]

myOleDbDataReader.Item("myImageField") what is the returning type of that?

Thank you.

I did everything that this little tutorial says but still no image is displayed.

Could you take a look at this code, please?


Thanks.

[dynamic_sysop]

you need to change this line ....
PictureBox1.Image.FromStream(myStream)
to this....

PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromStream(myStream)

as it's not telling it what the Image equals.

Oh God...

Thanx!
