[RESOLVED] saving an image

i have a FileUpload control which browses the path of the image

but i want to save the image when clicking save in the form of byte in the database how could that happen. i don't want an upload button

http://www.aspsnippets.com/Articles/How-to-save-insert-Image-in-Database-in-ASPNet-using-C-and-VBNet.aspx

from above link , remove the upload button and use the code in your submit button.

what is going wrong with this code?and what is it missing?

byte[] FileUpload1 = null;

if (FileUpload1.FileName != null && FileUpload1.FileName != "")

{

System.IO.FileInfo file = new System.IO.FileInfo(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName);

attachmentExtension = file.Extension.Remove(0, 1).ToUpper();

FileUpload1 = new byte[FileUpload1.PostedFile.ContentLength];

HttpPostedFile uploadedImage = FileUpload1.PostedFile;

uploadedImage.InputStream.Read(FileUpload1, 0, (int)FileUpload1.PostedFile.ContentLength);

    string filePath = FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName;  
    string filename = Path.GetFileName(filePath);
    string ext = Path.GetExtension(filename);
    string contenttype = String.Empty;
 
    //Set the contenttype based on File Extension
    switch(ext)
    {
        case ".jpg":
            contenttype = "image/jpg";
            break;
        case ".png":
            contenttype = "image/png";
            break;
        case ".gif":
            contenttype = "image/gif";
            break;       
    }
    if (contenttype != String.Empty)
    {
 
        Stream fs = FileUpload1.PostedFile.InputStream;
        BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(fs);
        Byte[] bytes = br.ReadBytes((Int32)fs.Length);
 
        //insert the file into database
        string strQuery = "insert into tblFiles(Name, ContentType, Data)" +
           " values (@Name, @ContentType, @Data)";
        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(strQuery);
        cmd.Parameters.Add("@Name", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = filename;
        cmd.Parameters.Add("@ContentType", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value
          = contenttype;
        cmd.Parameters.Add("@Data", SqlDbType.Binary).Value = bytes;
        InsertUpdateData(cmd);
        lblMessage.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;  
        lblMessage.Text = "File Uploaded Successfully";
    }
    else
    {
        lblMessage.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;   
        lblMessage.Text = "File format not recognised.";
    }
