An Image Gallery Application In MVC 4

I am showing this functionality by creating an ASP.Net MVC 4 application (R- An Image Gallery Application In MVC 4).

The following is my SQL Server Data Table structure: (Album_Details).


                                       Image 1.

Now open Visual Studio and select "File" -> "New" -> "Project...":


                                                                        Image 2.


                                                                        Image 3.

Now right-click on the Model Folder Add New Item -> Add New Class (ImageInfo):

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;

namespace AnImageGalleryApplicationInMVC4.Models
{
    public class ImageInfo
    {
        public int Image_Id { get; set; }
        public string Image_Name { get; set; }
        public byte[] Image { get; set; }
        public string Image_UploadedDate { get; set; }
    }
}

Now again right-click on the Model Folder-> Add New Item -> Add New Class (RAlbumService):

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Configuration;
using System.IO;

namespace AnImageGalleryApplicationInMVC4.Models
{
    public class RAlbumService
    {
        public IList<ImageInfo> GetAllImages()
        {
            List<ImageInfo> objImgInfo = new List<ImageInfo>();
            SqlDataAdapter da;
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
            SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection();
            con.ConnectionString = @"Data Source=MYPC\SqlServer2k8;Integrated Security=true;Initial Catalog=R-ImageGallery";
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM Album_Details", con);
            da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
            da.Fill(ds);
            con.Open();
            cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
            con.Close();
            if (!object.Equals(ds.Tables[0], null))
            {
                if (ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count > 0)
                {

                    for (int i = 0; i < ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count; i++)
                    {
                        ImageInfo objThisIMGInfo = new ImageInfo();
                        objThisIMGInfo.Image_Id = Convert.ToInt32(ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["IMG_ID"]);
                        objThisIMGInfo.Image_Name = ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["ImageName"].ToString();
                        objThisIMGInfo.Image = (byte[])ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["Photo"];


                        objThisIMGInfo.Image_UploadedDate = ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["UploadedDate"].ToString().Split(' ')[0];

                        objImgInfo.Add(objThisIMGInfo);
                    }

                }
            }
            return objImgInfo.ToList();
        }

        public byte[] GetImageDetails(int id)
        {
            SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=MYPC\SqlServer2k8;Integrated Security=true;Initial Catalog=R-ImageGallery");
            using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand())
            {
                cmd.Connection = con;
                cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
                cmd.CommandText = "SELECT Photo FROM Album_Details where IMG_ID=@ImageId";
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ImageId", id);
                con.Open();
                SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
                ImageInfo objImageInfo = new ImageInfo();
                while (dr.Read())
                {
                    objImageInfo.Image = (byte[])dr["Photo"];
                }
                return objImageInfo.Image;
            }
        }

        public int UploadImage(ImageInfo objImageInfo)
        {
            SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=MYPC\SqlServer2k8;Integrated Security=true;Initial Catalog=R-ImageGallery");
            using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand())
            {
                cmd.Connection = con;
                cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
                cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Album_Details(ImageName,Photo) VALUES(@ImageName,@Photo)";
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ImageName", objImageInfo.Image_Name);
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Photo", objImageInfo.Image);
                con.Open();
                int result = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
                con.Close();
                return result;
            }
        }
    }
}

Now right-click on Controller -> Add New Controller (Albums):

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using AnImageGalleryApplicationInMVC4.Models;
using System.IO;

namespace AnImageGalleryApplicationInMVC4.Controllers
{
    public class AlbumsController : Controller
    {
        RAlbumService objAlbumModelService = new RAlbumService();

        [HttpGet]
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            ViewBag.total = objAlbumModelService.GetAllImages().ToList().Count;
            return View(objAlbumModelService.GetAllImages().ToList());
        }

        public ActionResult GetImgInformation(int id)
        {
            byte[] cover = objAlbumModelService.GetImageDetails(id);
            if (cover != null)
            {
                return File(cover, "image/jpg");
            }
            else
            {
                return null;
            }
        }


        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Index(FormCollection collection)
        {
            HttpPostedFileBase file = Request.Files["ImageData"];
            ImageInfo objAlbumMaster = new ImageInfo();
            objAlbumMaster.Image_Name = collection["ImageName"].ToString();
            objAlbumMaster.Image = ConvertToBytes(file);
            objAlbumModelService.UploadImage(objAlbumMaster);
            return View(objAlbumModelService.GetAllImages().ToList());
        }

        public byte[] ConvertToBytes(HttpPostedFileBase image)
        {
            byte[] imageBytes = null;
            BinaryReader reader = new BinaryReader(image.InputStream);
            imageBytes = reader.ReadBytes((int)image.ContentLength);
            return imageBytes;
        }
    }
}

Now right-click on the Index Method name add new view and do the following code:

@model IList<AnImageGalleryApplicationInMVC4.Models.ImageInfo>
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "An Image Gallery Application In MVC 4";
}

    <tr>
        <td style="vertical-align: top; width: 15%;">
            <table style="border: solid 2px Red; padding: 5px; width: 100%;">
                <tr>
                    <td style="background-color: skyblue; color: red; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Upload Image
                    </td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td>
                        @using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Albums", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
                        {
                            @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
                            <table style="width: 100%;">
                                <tr>

Now run your application:


                                                                        Image 4.


                                                                     Image 5.


                                                                      Image 6.
