   Hi,

  I'm quite new with c# and are trying to set up a webpage that will show products with images. I will store the image inside the database.I've been follow some example from a book, and have put in this piece of code:

   

  ProductImageSelectByIDData selectproductimage = new ProductImageSelectByIDData();
              selectproductimage.Product = this.Product;
              Product.ImageData = (byte[ ])selectproductimage.Get();
              ImageStream = new MemoryStream((byte [ ])Product.ImageData);
  

   What I've underline is the part that goes wrong. I get an error message when trying to compile the soultion in vs2005."Cannot convert type byte[] to byte"

  someone that have encounter the same issues?

   I'd have said that "Cannot convert type byte[] to byte" is fairly self explanatory... in that you can't simply convert an array of information to a singular instance of the "type" of that array.

  What is the return type of selectproductimage.Get(); ?

  Following examples in books can sometimes be a real pain - more often than not I've found myself more confused by the (non) working examples than anything else.

   Here's something that might be of some help: http://www.aspfree.com/c/a/ASP.NET/Uploading-Images-to-a-Database--C---Part-I/
