I have image data stored in a SQL Server 2005 database. How can I view it via a Windows Forms application?

To display an image by ways of a Windows Forms application, you'll need to do a bit of work. First, you need to convert the data, which is stored in the database as raw bytes, into a valid .NET Bitmap object. You can then bind the Bitmap to a Windows Forms PictureBox control, which will display the image for you.

This article Reading BLOBs in Windows Form from Akadia.com describes the process in detail.
