private byte[] ReadImg2Byte(Image fileName) { try { using (Bitmap image = new Bitmap(fileName)) { stream = new MemoryStream(); image.Save(stream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp); } } catch (Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show(ex.Message); } return stream.ToArray(); }\
\
private Image view_img() { MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream((byte[])byteimg); Bitmap image = new Bitmap(stream); return image; }\

Convert image to byte:\
public static byte[] _ImageToByte(Image img){ ImageConverter converter = new ImageConverter(); return (byte[])converter.ConvertTo(img, typeof(byte[]));}\
Convert Image to byte:\
public static Bitmap _ByteToImage(byte[] blob) { MemoryStream mStream = new MemoryStream(); byte[] pData = blob; mStream.Write(pData, 0, Convert.ToInt32(pData.Length)); Bitmap bm = new Bitmap(mStream, false); mStream.Dispose(); return bm; }
