issue in saving image to mysql database . Program is running perfectly with no errors

Imports MySql.Data.MySqlClient

Imports System.IO



Public Class Form1
    Dim connection As New MySqlConnection("server=Localhost;userid=root;password=root;database=image")

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        Dim opf As New OpenFileDialog
        opf.Filter = "Choose Image(*.JPF;*.PNG;*.GIF)|*.jpg;*.png;*.gif"
        If opf.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
            PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(opf.FileName)
        End If
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        Dim command As New MySqlCommand("insert into saveimage(image) values(@img)", connection)
        Dim ms As New MemoryStream
        PictureBox1.Image.Save(ms, PictureBox1.Image.RawFormat)
        command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@img", SqlDbType.Image).Value = ms.ToArray()
        connection.Open()

        MessageBox.Show("Insert image")



    End Sub
End Class

Answer

This is wrong:

command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@img", SqlDbType.Image).Value = ms.ToArray()

You are mixing and matching two different ways of adding parameters. If you call AddWithValue (which you generally should not) then you need to provide a value, not a type. If you’re going to specify a type and then set the Value afterwards then you call Add.

Also, SqlDBType is for SqlClient and SQL Server. If you’re using MySqlClient and MySQL then you need to use MySqlDbType. That’s a perfect example of why you need Option Strict On right there.

Your code should be something like this:

command.Parameters.Add("@img", MySqlDbType.Blob).Value = ms.ToArray()

I say “something like this” because what type you specify depends on the actual data type you used in the database. If you need to use VarBinary then you should also specify a size.
