How to Display Images in the PictureBox used in Windows Apps or Mobile Based Apps.

Normally in windows based application there is a requirement to display image in the picture box which has been read from SQL Server. The image is stored in binary format in SQL Server. So we have to convert raw format read from database into bytes and then use stream to load the bytes in the format of an image. The following code shows how to display the image in the picture box in VB.NET

   Dim vbyte() As Byte = CType(myDatarow("Snap"), Byte())

   Using ms As New IO.MemoryStream(vbyte)
   PictureBox1.Image = New Bitmap(ms)
   PictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage
   End Using

In the above code, myDatarow is the object of DataRow class that is read and “Snap” is the name of the column in the database that stores the image.

1. So firstly we convert the read image from SQL Server into Bytes array.

2. Then we use MemoryStream to read the bytes into the stream and load the same bytes in the format of image in the PictureBox.

3. We can also the “SizeMode” Property to StretchImage or any other as required.

The above code can be used in the Windows Based application or Windows Mobile Phone Application.

MAX pool size reached in ASP.NET

If you are handling large databases and big application(s) that are running on servers in a cluster, then probably this error might have occurred. In an ASP.NET app, we can use connection pooling that helps to share the connection between multiple request(s) rather than creating more connections. The settings relating to connection pool are defined in web.config file. Max pool size reached error in ASP.NET occurs, when the number of connections go beyond the maximum defined limit in Web.config file. Following are the various settings of the Connection Pooling: Name Default Description Connection Lifetime 0 When a connection is returned to the pool, its creation time is compared with the current time, and the connection is destroyed if that time span (in seconds) exceeds the value specified by  Connection Lifetime . This is useful in clustered configurations to force load balancing between a runnin...
