I have a basic form with an 'Add Recipe' button which is meant to write the following to me SQL Server Express database:
- Recipe Name
- Recipe Ingredients
- Recipe Instructions
- Recipe Image
The form is located at the bottom of the question and when I click the 'Add Recipe' button it makes a call to the updatedate() method, this method looks like so:
private void updatedata()
{
// filestream object to read the image
// full length of image to a byte array
try
{
// try to see if the image has a valid path
if (imagename != "")
{
FileStream fs;
fs = new FileStream(@imagename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
// a byte array to read the image
byte[] picbyte = new byte[fs.Length];
fs.Read(picbyte, 0, System.Convert.ToInt32(fs.Length));
fs.Close();
//open the database using odp.net and insert the lines
string connstr = @"Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=RecipeOrganiser;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sa";
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connstr);
conn.Open();
string query;
query = "insert into Recipes(RecipeName,RecipeImage,RecipeIngredients,RecipeInstructions) values (" + textBox1.Text + "," + " @pic" + "," + textBox2.Text + "," + textBox3.Text + ")";
SqlParameter picparameter = new SqlParameter();
picparameter.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Image;
picparameter.ParameterName = "pic";
picparameter.Value = picbyte;
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, conn);
cmd.Parameters.Add(picparameter);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
MessageBox.Show("Image successfully saved");
cmd.Dispose();
conn.Close();
conn.Dispose();
Connection();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}
My problem is when ever I click the 'Add recipe' button with the information populated, it freezes for around 30 seconds and then displays the following error, I have checked that the SQL Server services are running which thy are. Can anyone offer ay advice what I am doing wrong here?
