I am having some trouble with my update() method. The idea is that the user Provides a recipe name, ingredients, instructions and then selects an image using Filestream.
Once the user clicks 'Add Recipe' this will call the update method, however as things stand I am getting an error which is mentioning the contents of the text box:
Here is the update() method code:
private void updatedata()
{
// filesteam object to read the image
// full length of image to a byte array
try
{
// try to see if the image has a valid path
if (imagename != "")
{
FileStream fs;
fs = new FileStream(@imagename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
// a byte array to read the image
byte[] picbyte = new byte[fs.Length];
fs.Read(picbyte, 0, System.Convert.ToInt32(fs.Length));
fs.Close();
//open the database using odp.net and insert the lines
string connstr = @"Server=mypcname\SQLEXPRESS;Database=RecipeOrganiser;Trusted_Connection=True";
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connstr);
conn.Open();
string query;
query = "insert into Recipes(RecipeName,RecipeImage,RecipeIngredients,RecipeInstructions) values (" + textBox1.Text + "," + " @pic" + "," + textBox2.Text + "," + textBox3.Text + ")";
SqlParameter picparameter = new SqlParameter();
picparameter.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Image;
picparameter.ParameterName = "pic";
picparameter.Value = picbyte;
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, conn);
cmd.Parameters.Add(picparameter);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
MessageBox.Show("Image successfully saved");
cmd.Dispose();
conn.Close();
conn.Dispose();
Connection();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}
Can anyone see where I have gone wrong with the insert into Recipes query or suggest an alternative approach to this part of the code?
