How to save image in database in MVC3?

HI,

I need a to save the uploaded image in database in byte[ ] format. I am using image datatype to save the image. Byte datatype also can be used.



model class for image i have used:-

public class ImageSave
    {
        [Key]
        public int ID
        { get; set; }

        
        public string ImageName
        { get; set; }


        [MaxLength]
        public byte[] ImageUpload
        { get; set; }
       
    }

View i have used:-

@model MvcPractice.Models.ImageSave

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Create";
}

<h2>Save Image</h2>

<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>

@using (Html.BeginForm()) {
    @Html.ValidationSummary(true)
    <fieldset>
        <legend>Student</legend>

        <div class="editor-label">
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.ImageName)
        </div>
        <div class="editor-field">
            @Html.EditorFor(model => model.ImageName)
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.ImageName)
        </div>

        <div class="editor-label">
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.ImageUpload)
        </div>
        <div class="editor-field">
            <input type="file" name="file" /> @Html.EditorFor(model => model.ImageUpload)
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.ImageUpload)
        </div>

        <p>
            <input type="submit" value="Create" />
        </p>
    </fieldset>
}

Controller code which is not working:-

[HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Create(ImageSave imageSave)
        {
            try
            {

               
                // TODO: Add insert logic here
                if (ModelState.IsValid)
                {
                    db.ImagesSaves.Add(imageSave);
                    db.SaveChanges();
                    return RedirectToAction("Create");
                }
                return View(imageSave);
                
            }
            catch
            {
                return View(imageSave);
            }
        }
