How to show picture from a database to a picture box when selected in a combobox then insert when there is none and upload and update picture whenever you like and save it to the database(phpmyadmin) in vb.net and using odbc/odbccommand.
 
To display a picture from a database to a picture box when selected in a combobox, and to insert, upload, and update pictures to a database using VB.NET and ODBC/ODBCCommand, you can follow these steps:

1. Set up your project:
- Create a new VB.NET project.
- Add a combobox, a picture box, and a button to your form.
- Import the necessary namespaces:
Code: 
vb
     Imports System.Data.Odbc
     Imports System.IO

2. Establish a database connection:
- Create a connection string to connect to your PHPMyAdmin database:
Code: 
vb
     Dim connectionString As String = "Driver={MySQL ODBC 8.0 Unicode Driver};Server=<server_name>;Database=<database_name>;Uid=<username>;Pwd=<password>;"
- Create an OdbcConnection object to establish a connection:
Code: 
vb
     Dim connection As New OdbcConnection(connectionString)

3. Populate the combobox with data from the database:
- In the form load event, fetch the data from the database and populate the combobox:
Code: 
vb
     Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
         Dim command As New OdbcCommand("SELECT picture_name FROM your_table", connection)
         connection.Open()
         Dim reader As OdbcDataReader = command.ExecuteReader()
         While reader.Read()
             ComboBox1.Items.Add(reader("picture_name").ToString())
         End While
         reader.Close()
         connection.Close()
     End Sub

4. Display the selected picture in the picture box:
- Handle the combobox selected index changed event:
Code: 
vb
     Private Sub ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
         If ComboBox1.SelectedIndex <> -1 Then
             Dim selectedPictureName As String = ComboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString()
             Dim command As New OdbcCommand("SELECT picture_data FROM your_table WHERE picture_name = ?", connection)
             command.Parameters.AddWithValue("pictureName", selectedPictureName)
             connection.Open()
             Dim pictureData As Byte() = DirectCast(command.ExecuteScalar(), Byte())
             connection.Close()
             If pictureData IsNot Nothing Then
                 Dim ms As New MemoryStream(pictureData)
                 PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromStream(ms)
             End If
         End If
     End Sub

5. Insert or update picture data to the database:
- Handle the button click event to insert or update the picture:
Code: 
vb
     Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
         If ComboBox1.SelectedIndex <> -1 Then
             Dim selectedPictureName As String = ComboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString()
             Dim ms As New MemoryStream()
             PictureBox1.Image.Save(ms, PictureBox1.Image.RawFormat)
             Dim pictureData As Byte() = ms.ToArray()

             Dim command As New OdbcCommand("UPDATE your_table SET picture_data = ? WHERE picture_name = ?", connection)
             command.Parameters.AddWithValue("pictureData", pictureData)
             command.Parameters.AddWithValue("pictureName", selectedPictureName)
             connection.Open()
             command.ExecuteNonQuery()
             connection.Close()
         End If
     End Sub

6. Insert a new picture to the database:
- Handle the button click event to insert a new picture:
Code: 
vb
     Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
         If OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
             Dim fileName As String = Path.GetFileName(OpenFileDialog1.FileName)
             Dim fileStream As New FileStream(OpenFileDialog1.FileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
             Dim fileData As Byte() = New Byte(fileStream.Length - 1) {}
             fileStream.Read(fileData, 0, CInt(fileStream.Length))
             fileStream.Close()

             Dim command As New OdbcCommand("INSERT INTO your_table (picture_name, picture_data) VALUES (?, ?)", connection)
             command.Parameters.AddWithValue("pictureName", fileName)
             command.Parameters.AddWithValue("pictureData", fileData)
             connection.Open()
             command.ExecuteNonQuery()
             connection.Close()

             ComboBox1.Items.Add(fileName)
         End If
     End Sub

Remember to replace <server_name>, <database_name>, <username>, and <password> with your actual database connection details. Also, adjust the table and column names accordingly.

These steps should allow you to display, insert, update, and upload pictures to a database using VB.NET and ODBC/ODBCCommand.

         End While
         reader.Close()
         connection.Close()
     End Sub

4. Display the selected picture in the picture box:
- Handle the combobox selected index changed event:
Code: 
vb
     Private Sub ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
         If ComboBox1.SelectedIndex <> -1 Then
             Dim selectedPictureName As String = ComboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString()
             Dim command As New OdbcCommand("SELECT picture_data FROM your_table WHERE picture_name = ?", connection)
             command.Parameters.AddWithValue("pictureName", selectedPictureName)
             connection.Open()
             Dim pictureData As Byte() = DirectCast(command.ExecuteScalar(), Byte())
             connection.Close()
             If pictureData IsNot Nothing Then
                 Dim ms As New MemoryStream(pictureData)
                 PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromStream(ms)
             End If
         End If
     End Sub

             Dim ms As New MemoryStream()
             PictureBox1.Image.Save(ms, PictureBox1.Image.RawFormat)
             Dim pictureData As Byte() = ms.ToArray()

             Dim command As New OdbcCommand("UPDATE your_table SET picture_data = ? WHERE picture_name = ?", connection)
             command.Parameters.AddWithValue("pictureData", pictureData)
             command.Parameters.AddWithValue("pictureName", selectedPictureName)
             connection.Open()

             Dim fileStream As New FileStream(OpenFileDialog1.FileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
             Dim fileData As Byte() = New Byte(fileStream.Length - 1) {}
             fileStream.Read(fileData, 0, CInt(fileStream.Length))

Certainly! Here's the updated code with try-catch blocks for the update and upload operations:

Code: 
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Try
        If ComboBox1.SelectedIndex <> -1 Then
            Dim selectedPictureName As String = ComboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString()
            Dim ms As New MemoryStream()
            PictureBox1.Image.Save(ms, PictureBox1.Image.RawFormat)
            Dim pictureData As Byte() = ms.ToArray()

            Dim command As New OdbcCommand("UPDATE your_table SET picture_data = ? WHERE picture_name = ?", connection)
            command.Parameters.AddWithValue("pictureData", pictureData)
            command.Parameters.AddWithValue("pictureName", selectedPictureName)
            connection.Open()
            command.ExecuteNonQuery()
            connection.Close()
        End If
    Catch ex As Exception
        MessageBox.Show("Error updating picture: " & ex.Message)
    Finally
        connection.Close()
    End Try
End Sub

Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
    Try
        If OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
            Dim fileName As String = Path.GetFileName(OpenFileDialog1.FileName)
            Dim fileStream As New FileStream(OpenFileDialog1.FileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
            Dim fileData As Byte() = New Byte(fileStream.Length - 1) {}
            fileStream.Read(fileData, 0, CInt(fileStream.Length))
            fileStream.Close()

            Dim command As New OdbcCommand("INSERT INTO your_table (picture_name, picture_data) VALUES (?, ?)", connection)
            command.Parameters.AddWithValue("pictureName", fileName)
            command.Parameters.AddWithValue("pictureData", fileData)
            connection.Open()
            command.ExecuteNonQuery()
            connection.Close()

            ComboBox1.Items.Add(fileName)
        End If
    Catch ex As Exception
        MessageBox.Show("Error uploading picture: " & ex.Message)
    Finally
        connection.Close()
    End Try
End Sub

In these updated code blocks, the try-catch blocks are added to catch any exceptions that may occur during the update and upload operations. If an exception is caught, a message box will display the error message. The connection.Close() statement is also included in the finally block to ensure that the database connection is closed even if an exception occurs.

Remember to replace <server_name>, <database_name>, <username>, and <password> with your actual database connection details. Also, adjust the table and column names accordingly.

These updated code blocks should provide better error handling for the update and upload operations.
