what is control that i should use to save image into my database

I have attached a small demo project for reading and writing a image in a database. It was developed in VS 2003. Have a look at it and modify it according to your own needs.

Table:

 CREATE TABLE [dbo].[imgtable](
      [id] [int] NULL,
      [img] [image] NULL
  ) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]

Code :

        Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("insert into imgtable (id,img) values ( @id,@img)", cnn)
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@id", id)
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@img", content)
        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
