I'm trying to store images in my database, located in my local pc. I'm very close to it! however, on executing the below code, I'm getting an error which says ..."Object reference not set to an instance" and it points to theline-
string cs= configurationmanager.Connectionstring.....
When I'm debugging with a break point..I see that the value of cs=" ".........and therefore con.open() is probably not getting the connection string as value of con=null.
Any Idea what should be done?
