protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            if (FileUpload1.FileContent != null)
            {
                string fname = txtfname.Text.ToString();
                string lname = txtlname.Text.ToString();
                string logname = txtdesiredlname.Text.ToString();
                string pass = txtpass.Text.ToString();
                string secq = Ddlsecq.Text.ToString();
                string seca = txtsecans.Text.ToString();
                string email = txtemail.Text.ToString();
                string location = Ddllocation.Text.ToString();
                byte[] imagesize = new byte[FileUpload1.PostedFile.ContentLength];
                HttpPostedFile uploadimage = FileUpload1.PostedFile;
                uploadimage.InputStream.Read(imagesize, 0, (int)FileUpload1.PostedFile.ContentLength);
                string dbstring = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["cnstring"].ConnectionString;
                SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection();
                cn.ConnectionString = dbstring;
                cn.Open();
                // SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from register", cn);
                // SqlCommandBuilder cmd = new SqlCommandBuilder(da);
                SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
                cmd.CommandText = "insert into register(firstname,lastname,loginname,password,image,securityq,securitya,email,location)" + "values (@fname,@lname,@logname,@pass,@image,@secq,@seca,@email,@loc)";
                cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
                cmd.Connection = cn;
                SqlParameter firstname = new SqlParameter("@fname", SqlDbType.VarChar, 20);
                firstname.Value = fname.ToString();
                cmd.Parameters.Add(firstname);
                SqlParameter lastname = new SqlParameter("@lname", SqlDbType.VarChar, 20);
                lastname.Value = lname.ToString();
                cmd.Parameters.Add(lastname);
                SqlParameter loginname = new SqlParameter("@logname", SqlDbType.VarChar, 20);
                loginname.Value = logname.ToString();
                cmd.Parameters.Add(loginname);
                SqlParameter password = new SqlParameter("@pass", SqlDbType.VarChar, 20);
                password.Value = pass.ToString();
                cmd.Parameters.Add(password);
                SqlParameter uploadedimage = new SqlParameter("@image", SqlDbType.Image, imagesize.Length);
                uploadedimage.Value = imagesize;
                cmd.Parameters.Add(uploadedimage);
                SqlParameter securityq = new SqlParameter("@secq", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50);
                securityq.Value = secq.ToString();
                cmd.Parameters.Add(securityq);
                SqlParameter securitya = new SqlParameter("@seca", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50);
                securitya.Value = seca.ToString();
                cmd.Parameters.Add(securitya);
                SqlParameter emailid = new SqlParameter("@email", SqlDbType.VarChar, 20);
                emailid.Value = email.ToString();
                cmd.Parameters.Add(emailid);
                SqlParameter loc = new SqlParameter("@loc", SqlDbType.VarChar, 20);
                loc.Value = location.ToString();
                cmd.Parameters.Add(loc);
                cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
                cn.Close();
                Response.Redirect("~/profile.aspx?logname='" +txtdesiredlname.Text+ "'");
            }
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            lblimnotfound.Enabled = true;
        }
    }

then i have created a profileimage.ashx i.e. a handler
the code is:

<%@ WebHandler Language="C#" Class="profileimage" %>

using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Data.SqlClient;

public class profileimage : IHttpHandler 
{

    public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
    {
            SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection();
            cn.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["cnstring"].ConnectionString;
            cn.Open();
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select firstname,image from register where loginname=@name");
            //cmd.CommandText = "select firstname,image from register where loginname=@name";
           // cmd.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.Text;
            cmd.Connection = cn;
            SqlParameter logname = new SqlParameter("@name", System.Data.SqlDbType.VarChar);
            logname.Value = context.Request.QueryString["logname"];
            cmd.Parameters.Add(logname);
            SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
            if (dr.Read())
            {
                context.Response.BinaryWrite((byte[])dr["image"]);
                cn.Close();
            }
          }
 
    public bool IsReusable
    {
        get 
        {
            return false;
        }
    }

}

coming back to the web page where i need the data displayed in grid view :

<div>
    <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" 
              AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="loginname"
              DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
     <Columns>
    <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Image">
    <ItemTemplate>
    <asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" 
           ImageUrl='<%# "profileimage.ashx?loginname=" + Eval("loginname")%>'/>
    </ItemTemplate>
    </asp:TemplateField>
    </Columns>
    </asp:GridView>
    <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" 
    ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:cnstring %>"
    SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM register"></asp:SqlDataSource>
    </div>

am getting exception in the handler page. Any help regarding this is appreciated and i hope you get the whole issue...

I think you should use logname,

ImageUrl='<%# "profileimage.ashx?loginname=" + Eval("loginname")%>'/>
