Check this article out: Save and Retrieve Images from the Database using ASP.NET 2.0 and ASP.NET 3.5

Example from the above article

First of all you need to convert your image into bytes like this:

FileUpload img = (FileUpload)imgUpload;
Byte[] imgByte = null;
if (img.HasFile && img.PostedFile != null)
{
    //To create a PostedFile
    HttpPostedFile File = imgUpload.PostedFile;
    //Create byte Array with file len
    imgByte = new Byte[File.ContentLength];
    //force the control to load data in array
    File.InputStream.Read(imgByte, 0, File.ContentLength);
}

Then you use imgByte as value when you add to your database.
