Hi

I have images stored in an SQL database.

I can read them easy enough - how can I display the image in a picture box,
or some other holder ?

Do I have to save the image as a .jpg or similar and then call LoadPicture ?

Thanks

Yes, you have to save it first.

What format are they stored in? If they're simply storing the raw image file data then you may find the graphicload.zip example
here to be useful:
