Hi, I just wanna ask what's the problem with my code in retrieving image from database into a picturebox.

Private Sub ShowDetails()
        Try
            Dim cn As New OleDb.OleDbConnection
            Dim cmd As OleDb.OleDbCommand
            Dim dr As OleDb.OleDbDataReader

            cn.ConnectionString = mstrConnection
            cn.Open()

            cmd = cn.CreateCommand()
            cmd.CommandText = "SELECT myimage FROM employees WHERE ID = '" & DataGridView.CurrentRow.Cells(0).Value & "'"

            dr = cmd.ExecuteReader

            If dr.Read Then
                Dim bytImage() As Byte

                Try
                    bytImage = CType(dr(0), Byte())
                    Dim ms As New System.IO.MemoryStream(bytImage)
                    Dim bmImage As New Bitmap(ms)
                    ms.Close()

                    myimage.Image = bmImage
                    myimage.Refresh()
                Catch ex As Exception
                    MsgBox(ex.ToString)
                End Try
            End If

            dr.Close()
            cn.Close()

            cmd.Dispose()
            cn.Dispose()
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.ToString)
        End Try
    End Sub
