Hardik,

In addition to John, it is not such a good idea, it is terrible slow.

However adding thumbnails in a database server is very nice, you can than in
a nice way manage your pictures.

However, here every thing you need to know about handling images and a
database. On our website is as well a sample how to make thumbnails from
images.

Hi,

You can take a look at this URL:
http://blogs.msdn.com/jdixon/articles/495408.aspx
I used it to my ASP.NET 2.0 project and it stores the images in a Image
column type.

The only thing that doesn't seem to work within my project is to retreive
the image back from the DB.

Regards,
B.
