>The datasource was a LinqDataSource. When I created the database I did create LecPic as an image data type. Then I created a DataClasses.dbml file. Later decided to change Lecpic to varchar and store the name of the file. Never changed the dbml so it was out of step. So I was trying to process it as an image.

Glad you got it working.
