[ Team LiB ] Recipe 7.13 Loading a Windows PictureBox with Images Stored by Access as OLE Objects Problem You need to display images from a Microsoft Access database in a PictureBox control. Solution Strip the OLE image header that Microsoft Access adds to the image. The sample code contains six event handlers: Form.Load Sets up the sample by filling a DataTable within a DataSet with the Categories table from the Microsoft Access Northwind sample database. The CategoryID, CategoryName, and Description fields are bound to TextBox controls. The BindingManagerBase is obtained for the Categories table in the DataSet, a handler is attached to manage the PositionChanged event, and that handler is called to position the display on the first record. BindingManagerBase.PositionChanged Updates the PictureBox with the image for the current record. This event is raised when the Position property value changes. The CategoryID for the current record is obtained using the position information in the BindingManagerBase object. A Connection object and Command object are created and used to retrieve the Picture binary field for the category record into a Byte array. A MemoryStream object is created and the image written into it from the Byte array using an offset to strip the OLE image header. The static FromStream( ) method of the System.Drawing.Image class is used to load the image into the PictureBox from the MemoryStream. Move First Button.Click Sets the current record of the bound controls to the first record by setting the Position property of the BindingManagerBase object to 0. Move Previous Button.Click Sets the current record of the bound controls to the previous record by decrementing the Position property of the BindingManagerBase object by 1. Move Next Button.Click Sets the current record of the bound controls to the next record by incrementing the Position property of the BindingManagerBase object by 1. Move Last Button.Click Sets the current record of the bound controls to the last record by setting the Position property of the BindingManagerBase object to the total number of records, as returned by the Count property, minus 1. The C# code is shown in Example 7-29 . Example 7-29.

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream( ); ms.Write(image, MSACCESSIMAGEOFFSET, image.Length - MSACCESSIMAGEOFFSET); conn.Close( ); // Load the image into the PictureBox from the stream. picturePictureBox.Image = Image.FromStream(ms); ms.Close( ); } private void moveFirstButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { bm.Position = 0; } private void movePreviousButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { bm.Position -= 1; } private void moveNextButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { bm.Position += 1; } private void moveLastButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { bm.Position = bm.Count - 1; } Discussion The Windows Forms PictureBox control displays bitmap, JPEG, metafile, or icon images. Microsoft Access stores an image as an OLE object that wraps the actual image. This means that the image is prefixed with a variable-length header that must be stripped off to retrieve the image. The length of this header for bitmap images stored in the Northwind sample database is 78 bytes. In the solution, the image stored as a BLOB in the database is retrieved into a Byte array. The Byte array is copied into a MemoryStream object using an overload of the Write( ) method that allows the 78 byte offset to be specified. The static FromStream( ) method of the Image class creates an Image object from the MemoryStream that is loaded into the PictureBox. [ Team LiB ] .
