If Dir(jpgFile) = "" Then
Console.Write("Invalid File Path")
Exit Sub
End If
'Open the file
o = New FileStream(jpgFile, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read)
'Read the output in a stream reader
r = New StreamReader(o)
Try
'Declare an Byte array to save the content of the file to be saved
Dim FileByteArray(o.Length - 1) As Byte
o.Read(FileByteArray, 0, o.Length)
'Open the DataBase Connection, Please map the datasource name to match the 'Database path
Dim Con As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.3.51;Persist Security Info=False;Data Source=DbImages.mdb")
Dim Sql As String = "INSERT INTO DbImages (Pic,FileSize) VALUES (?,?)"
'Declare a OleDbCommand Object
Dim CmdObj As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand(Sql, Con)
'Add the parameters
CmdObj.Parameters.Add("@Pic", System.Data.OleDb.OleDbType.Binary, o.Length).Value = FileByteArray
CmdObj.Parameters.Add("@FileSize", System.Data.OleDb.OleDbType.VarChar, 100).Value = o.Length
Con.Open()
CmdObj.ExecuteNonQuery()
Con.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
Console.Write(ex.ToString)
