Adding an image to details view

I'm some what of a noob when it comes to ASP.NET 2.0 and SQL Server 2005 Express editions, so please bare with me.

I have created a basic database that is only one table. One of the fields is LogPicture with type of image.

I just want to go into the table and manually place a picture in the table, but it seems like I can not get the format down. I have tried including the picture I want into the project, but no dice. I've also tried putting the physical pathname (on the harddrive) and the web address of this field in there. Suggestions please?

ss*bump*

I am basically just looking for the syntax of how an image is inserted. Anyone..... please?|||

Image data is stored as binary stream in SQL Server. You can either use bcp.exe utility to insert BLOB data (image/text/ntext) or write your own code to input binary stream to the column. You can take a look at this post:

And here is a article that introduces bcp utility:
