Usually the image will be stored with arttribute property img, it stores the image in form of byte files.

 

In your code,

 

Create a FileStream and in the Reader,use the GetBytes method and store in a file and open the file uisng the FileMode property and assign the image box, imageURL to the file you just read into bytes.

 

you can convert the file into a bmp image of any format(even the image is in jpg format)

 

Dim img as New Bitmap(fd.FileName)

 

Hope this would help.
