mysql does not store URL strings directly.

for eg, this wont work.

mysql.executenonquery("insert into images_table values('"+imageurltextbox.text+"') ;

heres a workaround.

before sending data to mysql, use urlencode.

eg....

string urlstr = httputility.urlencode(imageurltextbox.text) ;

and then send it to database.

to get it back use httputility.urldecode(string);

One more thing. Images in .net recognize urls as ~\images\.....

and not as c:\project\images\.....

beware...
