Convert Image To Bytes in VB.Net

Sometimes we need to convert image to bytes to store image into SQL server database.

First of all we have to imports some namespace in our class.

Imports System.IO

Imports System.IO.Stream

here is vb code for that conversion.

Public Function ConvertImageToByte(ByVal Img As Image) As Byte()

        Dim ms As MemoryStream = New MemoryStream()

                Img.Save(ms, Img.RawFormat)

        Dim data(ms.Length) As Byte

        ms.Position = 0

        ms.Read(data, 0, ms.Length)

        ms.Close()

        ms = Nothing

        ConvertImageToByte = data

    End Function

Happy Coding.Cheers
