Craig,

This method turns bytes received from the database into a Bitmap object
which you can display in a picture box like that:

pictureBox.Image = GetPhotos(bits);

 public System.Drawing.Bitmap GetPhoto(byte[] photoBits)
 {
  if (photoBits != null && photoBits.Length > 0)
  {
   using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(photoBits))
   {
    return new Bitmap(stream);
   }
  }
  else
  {
   // Return standard company approved photo :-)
   return null;
  }
 }

HTH,
Alexander
