How to show file from SqlFilestream into wpf document viewer

I am inserting docx file into an SQL table like ,
DECLARE #file AS VARBINARY(MAX)
SELECT #file = CAST(bulkcolumn AS VARBINARY(MAX))
FROM OPENROWSET(
BULK
'D:\abc.docx',
SINGLE_BLOB ) AS x
INSERT INTO ItemData(Id,fileData)
SELECT NEWID(),#file
Now file inserted into table properly.
Read File
For reading file, I am using bellow code :
"ItemNumber" is used for identity.
Everything is working fine.
But I have to show that file to the Document Viewer in WPF.
string cmdString = "Select fileData.PathName() As Path from ItemData where ItemNumber = '" + itemNumber + "' ";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(cmdString, conn);
Object pathObj = cmd.ExecuteScalar();
if (DBNull.Value != pathObj)
filePath = (string)pathObj;
else
{
throw new System.Exception("fileData.PathName() failed to read the path name for the Chart column.");
}
this.wbControl.Navigate(filePath);
SqlTransaction transaction = conn.BeginTransaction("mainTranaction");
cmd.Transaction = transaction;
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT GET_FILESTREAM_TRANSACTION_CONTEXT()";
Object obj = cmd.ExecuteScalar();
byte[] txContext = (byte[])obj;
SqlFileStream sqlFileStream = new SqlFileStream(filePath, txContext, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
//byte[] buffer2 = new byte[(int)sqlFileStream.Length];
byte[] buffer = new byte[512];
int numBytes = 0;
string someData = "EKG data.";
Encoding unicode = Encoding.GetEncoding(0);
sqlFileStream.Write(unicode.GetBytes(someData.ToCharArray()), 0, someData.Length);
sqlFileStream.Seek(0L, SeekOrigin.Begin);
numBytes = sqlFileStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
string readData = unicode.GetString(buffer);
if (numBytes != 0)
Console.WriteLine(readData);
//Because reading and writing are finished, FILESTREAM
//must be closed. This closes the c# FileStream class,
//but does not necessarily close the the underlying
//FILESTREAM handle.
sqlFileStream.Close();
//The final step is to commit or roll back the read and write
//operations that were performed on the FILESTREAM BLOB.
cmd.Transaction.Commit();
How to I display SqlFileStream to Document Viewer in WPF?
I am storing docx file in database.

Database varbinary(MAX) to RichText Box

Here i Saved .Doc files in Database and i used varbinary(MAX) Datatype. Now I want to bind the varbinary(MAX) field to Richtext box, Here i am used bellow code to Read binary format data to string type.
string Query = "Select Name, ContentType, DocFileText from <TableNAme> where Id=5";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(Query, con);
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
con.Open();
SqlDataReader sqlRead = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (sqlRead.Read())
{
byte[] fileData = ((byte[])sqlRead["DocFileText"]);
Richtextbox1.Text = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(fileData);
}
but the data should be in unreadable format like :

How can i read Doc file from database to richtextbox ?
And My Uploaded Code is:
string filename = Path.GetFileName(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName);
Stream str = FileUpload1.PostedFile.InputStream;
BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(str);
Byte[] size = br.ReadBytes((int) str.Length);
using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(Connstring))
{
using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand())
{
cmd.CommandText = "insert into Gtrans(Name, ContentType, DocFileText) values(#Name, #ContentType, #DocFileText)";
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Name", filename);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#ContentType", "application/word");
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#DocFileText", size);
cmd.Connection = con;
con.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
con.Close();
}
}

Okay there are two problems with your approach.
Point 1 (If you are using winforms):
If you like to load rtf text into a RichTextBox then you have to use the Rtf property of the RichTextBox. Not the Text property. See this for more information.
Point 2:
You can't open .doc in rtf just by passing the .doc string to rtf. .doc is something other that rtf.
The good news: it is possible, the bad: you need MS Word.
Add reference to "Microsoft Word 15.0 Object Library" is under the 'Com' section of the references window
Use this code to convert the doc file to rtf file
.
byte[] yourDocData = null; // in your case (byte[])sqlRead["DocFileText"]
// Save your data as file so word can read it
var tmpFile = Path.GetTempFileName();
using (var fileStream = new FileStream(tmpFile, FileMode.Append, FileAccess.Write))
using (var writer = new BinaryWriter(fileStream)) {
writer.Write(yourDocData);
}
// Convert .doc to .rtf
var newWordFile = (object) tmpFile;
var newRtfFile = (object) Path.GetTempFileName();
var wordObject = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application();
var docs = wordObject.Documents.Open(ref newWordFile);
docs.SaveAs(ref newRtfFile, WdSaveFormat.wdFormatRTF);
// This is your rtf code
var yourRtfCode = File.ReadAllText(newRtfFile.ToString());
// Dispose
docs.Close();
wordObject.Quit();
source
Important
Use the same Encoding for saving / loading your .doc from the database!
Set the yourRtfCode not to the text-property of your control but to the property accepting rtf-text

why this code only save first pic while i am selection more the 1

in above code i have selected multiple images with picturebox TimesSelect and showed in panel ,panel show all selected images but in database only first pictures multiple time e.g i select 10 pic , in database first Picture is saved 10 time
if (files != null)
{
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(#"Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=C:\Users\Avais\Desktop\GUI of GUA\GUI of GUA\GUAdatabase.mdf;Integrated Security=True");
con.Open();
FileStream fs = new FileStream(files[0], System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read);
byte[] image = new byte[fs.Length];
fs.Read(image, 0, Convert.ToInt32(fs.Length));
fs.Close();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO Admin_Pic_Lib(Pictures) VALUES (#pic)", con);
SqlParameter prm = new SqlParameter("#pic", SqlDbType.VarBinary, image.Length, ParameterDirection.Input, false, 0, 0, null, DataRowVersion.Current, image);
cmd.Parameters.Add(prm);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
label1.ForeColor = Color.Green;
label1.Text = "Pic Added Suscussfully";
con.Close();
}

You are currently only targeting the first image / file that is available :
FileStream fs = new FileStream(files[0], ...);
If you want to target and save multiple files, consider looping through your files collection and performing this operation for each of them :
foreach(var file in files)
{
// Read each individual file and save it here
}

Load an image to C# and then inserting into MySQL table

Here's what I need: I'm making a software for inventory control, but I have to upload an image of the product among the data. I'm working with C# and MySQL.
I do not know how to put the image loaded into the pictureBox to a MySQL table.
Any ideas? I'm completely lost here.
I loaded the image into a pictureBox using this code:
using (OpenFileDialog dlg = new OpenFileDialog())
{
dlg.Title = "Open Image";
dlg.Filter = "All Files (*.*)|*.*";
if (dlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
pictureBox1.Image = new Bitmap(dlg.FileName);
}
}
How do I insert the loaded image into a MySQL table? I suppose that the image attribute in the table should be:
`img` LONGBLOB NOT NULL
And then, how do I call back the image to a pictureBox from MySQL? I suppose (again) that the query it is something like:
select img from table_name where id = '';
Finally, when I have the query, how do I load the image to a pictureBox from MySQL?
Thank you very much.

I will offer two solutions. The first solution is to store the raw image in bytes in the database directly. The second solution is what I personally recommend - which is to instead use the path of the image file in the database instead.
Here an excerpt from an article which brings up some excellent points on whether or not to BLOB.
Well, there are several reasons why you should not store binary data
in your database:
The whole point of storing data in a SQL database, is to put some kind of ordering and structure on your data, as well as being able to
search on these data. But how do you search in the binary data of a
picture?
For large data sets, storing binary data will quickly run up the size of your database files, making it harder to control the size of
the database.
In order to store binary data in the database, you must continually escape and unescape the data to ensure that nothing breaks.
Storing images on the file system has a marginally faster retrieval rate. Now here are some reasons why you should:
There is one good reason why you might want to store the binary data
in the database:
Replication. Storing images in a database allows for all of your data to be central stored which is more portable, and easy to
replicate.
Here is how you would go about choosing your image file:
using (var openFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog())
{
openFileDialog.Title = "Choose Image File";
openFileDialog.InitialDirectory =
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyPictures);
openFileDialog.Filter = "Image Files (*.bmp, *.jpg)|*.bmp;*.jpg";
openFileDialog.Multiselect = false;
if (openFileDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
pictureBox1.Image = new Bitmap(openFileDialog.FileName);
}
// store file path in some field or textbox...
textBox1.Text = openFileDialog.FileName;
}
Solution 1: BLOB approach
// Write to database like this - image is LONGBLOB type
string sql = "INSERT INTO imagetable (image) VALUES (#file)";
// remember 'using' statements to efficiently release unmanaged resources
using (var conn = new MySqlConnection(cs))
{
conn.Open();
using (var cmd = new MySqlCommand(sql, conn))
{
// parameterize query to safeguard against sql injection attacks, etc.
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#file", File.ReadAllBytes(textBox1.Text));
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
}
// read image from database like this
string sql = "SELECT image FROM imagetable WHERE ID = #ID";
using (var conn = new MySqlConnection(cs))
{
conn.Open();
using (var cmd = new MySqlCommand(sql, conn))
{
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#ID", myInt);
byte[] bytes = (byte[])cmd.ExecuteScalar();
using (var byteStream = new MemoryStream(bytes))
{
pictureBox1.Image = new Bitmap(byteStream);
}
}
}
Solution 2: Storing Path of File on Filesystem
// Some file movement to the desired project folder
string fileName = Path.GetFileName(this.textBox1.Text);
string projectFilePath = Path.Combine(projectDir, fileName);
File.Copy(this.textBox1.Text, projectFilePath);
// Write to database like this - imagepath is VARCHAR type
string sql = "INSERT INTO imagepathtable (imagepath) VALUES (#filepath)";
using (var conn = new MySqlConnection(cs))
{
conn.Open();
using (var cmd = new MySqlCommand(sql, conn))
{
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#filepath", projectFilePath);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
}
// read from database like this
string sql = "SELECT imagepath FROM imagepathtable WHERE ID = #ID";
using (var conn = new MySqlConnection(cs))
{
conn.Open();
using (var cmd = new MySqlCommand(sql, conn))
{
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#ID", myInt);
pictureBox1.Image = new Bitmap(cmd.ExecuteScalar().ToString());
}
}

How do I store a image BLOB in an access database after getting the name from openfiledialog?

I am developing a C# application that has an Access database. What I want to do is allow a user to select an image through an "openfiledialog." I then want to store the image in one of the table of the access database in a BLOB field. I have searched over the internet, but found nothing helpful. I hope you can help me.
if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
// textBox1.Show(openFileDialog1.FileName.ToString());
// MessageBox.Show(openFileDialog1.FileName.ToString());
textBox1.Text = openFileDialog1.FileName.ToString();
String filename = openFileDialog1.FileName.ToString();
byte[] buffer = File.ReadAllBytes(filename);
using (var conn = new OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=Policias.accdb"))
using (var cmd = conn.CreateCommand())
{
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO DetallesMunicipio(imagen) VALUES (#imagen)";
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#imagen", buffer);
conn.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Porfavor selecciona una imagen");
}
}
but now how can I be sure that is stored in the access database?

Example:
string filename = "foo.txt"; // TODO: fetch from file dialog
byte[] buffer = File.ReadAllBytes(filename);
using (var conn = new OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=foo.mdb"))
using (var cmd = conn.CreateCommand())
{
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO MyTable VALUES (#Name, #Data)";
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Name", filename);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Data", buffer);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}

What you will want to do is something similar to the following.
using (OpenFileDialog fileDialog = new OpenFileDialog){
if(fileDialog.ShowDialog == DialogResult.OK){
using (System.IO.FileInfo fileToSave = new System.IO.FileInfo(fileDialog.FilePath)){
MemoryStream ms = System.IO.FileStream(fileToSave.FullNae, IO.FileMode.Open);
//Here you can copy the ms over to a byte array to save into your blob in your database.
}
}
}

I would use File.ReeadAllBytes(file) and save the byte[] there in the DB.
