image data type SQL Server 2008 C# data type

Question

I created a data table

CREATE TABLE [ProductImages]
(
[ProductImageID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[ProductImage] [image] NOT NULL
 CONSTRAINT [PK_ProductImages] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
 (
   [ProductImageID] ASC
 ) 
)

I'm trying to write ProductImages class in C#

public class ProductImages
{
    private int productImageID;

    public int ProductImageID
    {
        get { return productImageID; }
        set { productImageID = value; }
    }

 // I need to declare property for ProductImage???

}

How do i declare property for ProductImage ?

Answer 1

public byte[] ProductImage { get; set;} 

Would work... Images are just binary files and you marshal them between SQL Server and your application as the byte[] data type.
