'Parameter is not valid.'

Question

I am working on WinForms using C#. I made a class video that has method yourvideos(). This method reads data from SQL database and add it in imagelist and listview.

First I have uploaded the image and then take the location of image using:

var=open.FileName.ToString();

Then in a function uploadvideo(), I converted image to bytearray and inserted it to database:

public void uploadvideo(string url, string path, string name,string title, DateTime date, string imgloc, string user)
{
    con.Open();
    FileStream file = new FileStream(imgloc,FileMode.Open,FileAccess.Read);
        BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(file);
        byte[] img = br.ReadBytes((int)file.Length);
   cmd = new SqlCommand($"insert into RecipeInfo (RecipeName, [Recipe Link],Thumbnail,Username, Date, Title) values (@Name,@Path,@img,@Username,@Date,@Title)", con);
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("Name", name);
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("Path", path);
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("Img", img);
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("Username", user);
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("Date", date);
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("Title", title);
                cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}

and then the function yourvideos() where I am retrieving data comes.

public void yourvideos(string user, ImageList imglist, ListView list, Label l)
{
     cmd = new SqlCommand("select Title, Thumbnail from RecipeInfo where Username=@username", con);
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("username", user);
    con.Open();
    SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
    if (reader.HasRows)
    {
        while (reader.Read())
        {
            byte[] img = (byte[])(reader["Thumbnail"]);
            MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(img);
            imglist.Images.Add(Image.FromStream(ms));
            list.Items.Add(reader["Title"].ToString());
            //MessageBox.Show("Data presesnt");
        }
    }
    else
    {

        l.Visible = true;
        l.Text = "Upload videos and share your recipes with others";
    }
    reader.Close();
    con.Close();
}

This function is called in the Form under the button click event

v1.yourvideos(Form2.setname, imageList1, yourvideoslistview, messagelabel);

It is giving me the error when I call yourvideos() that 'parameter is not valid' error details are:

System.ArgumentException

Answer 1

From documentation on [this page][1]. This is example of how you should add parameters to SqlCommand object:

string demoXml, string connectionString)
{
    // Update the demographics for a store, which is stored
    // in an xml column.
    string commandText = "UPDATE Sales.Store SET Demographics = @demographics "
        + "WHERE CustomerID = @ID;";
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
    SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(commandText, connection);
    command.Parameters.Add("@ID", SqlDbType.Int);
    command.Parameters["@ID"].Value = customerID;

    // Use AddWithValue to assign Demographics.
    // SQL Server will implicitly convert strings into XML.
    command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@demographics", demoXml);

    try
    {
        connection.Open();
        Int32 rowsAffected = command.ExecuteNonQuery();
        Console.WriteLine("RowsAffected: {0}", rowsAffected);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
    }
}

}

Answer 2

In the while loop you need to call

while(reader.read()){
  .....
}

I'm suggesting using block to dispose your connection , command and reader object.

Also you can see some valuable input from the below link , if the size of the image data is big.

What 'length' parameter should I pass to SqlDataReader.GetBytes()
