This Tutorial Shows How To Connect To Access Database And Display Data And Images In Datagridview In C Sharp Windows Application. This C# application inserts data entered by user to ms access database. Also the images loaded from pc and displayed on picturebox are inserted in to the database as byte array. Then images are first converted to byte arrays before being stored in access database. The first database column is of type integer which increments automatically whenever you insert a new row.

Go to start menu and search “Microsoft Access”. Then select it from the list.
