retrieving image from database - vb.net

Question

I'm working on my project which displays a list of employee. here, the information and picture of the employee will be shown. my project can now show the list of employees in the listbox and when I double click on an employee, his/her profile will be shown on a textbox. my problem is that i can't make their pictures to show in the picturebox. I already stored their picture on a table in my database along with their id, name, and profile. It only shows the picture of the first employee on the table. can anybody help me?
here's what I already done:
I populated the listbox:
Call Connect()
With Me
STRSQL = "Select employee_name from Employees"
Try
myCmd.Connection = myConn
myCmd.CommandText = STRSQL
reader = myCmd.ExecuteReader
If (reader.Read()) Then
reader.Close()
adptr.SelectCommand = myCmd
adptr.Fill(dt)
lstEmployee.DisplayMember = "employee_name"
lstEmployee.ValueMember = "employee_id"
If dt.Rows.Count > 0 Then
For i As Integer = 0 To dt.Rows.Count - 1
lstEmployee.Items.Add(dt.Rows(i)("employee_name"))
Next
End If
End If
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
End With
here's how I show the info on textbox
Dim FileSize As UInt32
Dim mStream As New System.IO.MemoryStream()
Dim arrImage() As Byte = mStream.GetBuffer()
FileSize = mStream.Length
Dim cmd As New MySqlCommandBuilder
Call Connect()
With Me
STRSQL = "select employee_name, profile from Employees where employee_id = " & lstEmployee.SelectedIndex
Try
myCmd.Connection = myConn
myCmd.CommandText = STRSQL
reader = myCmd.ExecuteReader
If (reader.Read()) Then
txtName.Text = reader("employee_name")
txtProfile.Text = reader("profile")
End If
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
Finally
myConn.Close()
End Try
adptr.SelectCommand = myCmd
dt = New DataTable
adptr = New MySqlDataAdapter("select picture from Employees", myConn)
cmd = New MySqlCommandBuilder
adptr.Fill(dt)
Dim lb() As Byte = dt.Rows(0).Item("picture")
Dim lstr As New System.IO.MemoryStream(lb)
pix.Image = Image.FromStream(lstr)
pix.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage
lstr.Close()

Answer 1

You miss the where clause is must be like to search a one employee to view there image.
adptr = _
New MySqlDataAdapter("select picture from Employees " + _
"where employee_id = " & lstEmployee.SelectedIndex, myConn)
cmd = New MySqlCommandBuilder
adptr.Fill(dt)
Dim lb() As Byte = dt.Rows(0).Item("picture")
Dim lstr As New System.IO.MemoryStream(lb)
pix.Image = Image.FromStream(lstr)
pix.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage
lstr.Close()
P.S.: You must study the LINQ (Language-Integrated Query) for better approach.
